Now you know what goes into a collection.
But, how to actually design one?
Let’s tackle that next.
Your free guide shows you what goes into a cohesive pattern collection. But knowing exactly how to put those pieces together? That's where things can get messy.
This is why I wrote The Pattern Collection System. This step-by-step guidebook takes the guesswork out of collection design, so you can stop second-guessing your decisions and spend more time creating the work you're actually proud of.
One workbook → A repeatable process you can use for every collection you create. Just $34.
Turn your favorite patterns into beautiful, cohesive collections.
Imagine your dream brand loves your artwork and asks you to create an entire collection around it.
Would you know where to start?
The Pattern Collection System is a practical, step-by-step guide that helps you develop the skills to confidently turn individual patterns into thoughtfully designed collections.

Inside, you'll learn to:
Turn a single idea into a complete collection concept.
Choose themes, motifs, and colors that work together.
Balance hero prints, supporting patterns, and blenders.
Create variety through scale, layout, and composition.

Commercially viable pattern collections don't happen by accident.
They're built through intentional decisions about color, composition, scale, and how individual patterns work together.
With my background in graphic design and surface pattern design, I've developed a process for making those decisions with purpose.
And I put that process into one practical guidebook.

What you’ll learn:
When to plan each seasonal collection
When to create your designs
When to release before search interest peaks
