No Drawing Experience Required

In this course, I will show you how to create a single-page, shareable illustration that describes all the features and details of your idea without ever picking up a pencil. I take you step-by-step through the process of creating an illustration through the use of annotations, callouts and images rather than sketches. I also explain the importance of using a Human form within your illustrations and how to keep it simple and organized onto one page called a Concept Board.

One-on-One Guidance

I work with you one-on-one to through each step of the creative process. You’ll receive priority email, text, and phone guidance as you explore design options and learn construction techniques. I also help you understand the best materials to use and teach you about sourcing, logo and branding, prints, patterns, labels and the overall process of getting to manufacture.
