A few years ago I left my corporate job to launch a freelance business and I was so excited! I got my office set up, I registered my business and when I sat down to design I felt absolutely lost. For years I had been told what to design and I knew the style of prints that I was expected to create, but when left on my own I was overwhelmed and unproductive.
Weeks went by and I had little to show for my time other than a few sketches and unoriginal pattern concepts. If my business was going to survive I knew that I needed a change, so I developed a system that would take the guesswork out of what to design each season. This system, which I now share through the Sellable Sketch, brings clarity to the collection development process and designers leave feeling focused, confident and motivated to get their work out into the marketplace.
