Are you looking for a community to grow your inspiration and connection to artists.
Building our creativity can feel lonely at times, but finding inspiration through others is incredibly rewarding.
​​
Watching others grow and share insights from their journeys provides the motivation and guidance needed to elevate your own creative path and business.
Whether you're learning a new art form or building a business around your work, being part of a community brings clarity and accountability.
​​
My goal is to foster a supportive space where we can grow together, share our creative journeys, and inspire one another along the way.

FAQs
What is Artful? ARTFUL is more than a membership—it’s a vibrant community for artists to connect, share, and grow. Think of it as your pocket guide to creativity, brimming with inspiration and resources to spark your ideas and refine your craft. Together, we’ll explore trends, build designs, and celebrate the art of surface pattern in an intimate, collaborative space.
How is this different from other memberships? ARTFUL focuses more on inspiration, resources, and community interaction. It’s designed for creatives who want ongoing resources, style boards, trend insights, and feedback but in a more intimate setting.
Struggling to establish connections? ARTFUL is designed to inspire, connect, and help you grow alongside other artists and designers in a smaller, more intimate setting making it easier to grow relationships with fellow artists.
Do I have to be pursuing surface design? Not at all! While ARTFUL is geared toward surface pattern designers, the principles of creativity, inspiration gathering, and community support can benefit anyone in the creative field. If you're an artist, designer, or someone looking for creative growth, you'll find valuable insights and resources in ARTFUL.
Is the online community a Facebook group? No, ARTFUL isn’t hosted in a Facebook group. While social media is great for connection, it can be distracting. We’re using Circle, a dedicated platform designed to foster focused, creative interaction and easy access to resources—without the noise of social media.
What if Artful isn't for me? You can cancel your membership at any time. However, if you decide to rejoin in the future, please note that the membership fee may be higher at that time.
Will there be live sessions? Yes! As part of the membership, there will be group calls with all members (if you so wish to join) where we can connect, share explore topics together. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity to engage with the community, spark inspiration from one another and create accountability.
