My Tale

This year We founded Pattern Observer as a way to remain informed regarding newest styles in the textile design marketplace. I experienced recently remaining my business textile design work and was concerned that I was gonna lose picture of rising structure trends in the market. We quickly began currently talking about my experiences as a designer and found a passion: supporting, inspiring and promoting those who work in the style community. We began training classes on the web last year and since the period We have helped large number of designers improve professionalism of the artwork and develop their businesses through our e-courses, digital workshops and personal design community.

Over the past a decade i've worked with producers including Lucy Activewear, Columbia Sportswear, Jantzen Swimwear, Perry Ellis and P&B Textiles, building customized textile design choices and have now had the honor of being featured on Stylesight.com, Elle Decor, Nordstrom’s Blog and Print Mag.
