About Your Instructor

Most surface pattern education is taught from the artist's perspective.

My career has been spent on the buyer's side of the table, evaluating artwork, developing products, and working with manufacturers in the interiors industry.

I've collaborated with brands, manufacturers, and artists, watching how artwork is evaluated long before it ever becomes a product. Those experiences completely changed the way I think about commercial design.

That's the perspective I bring to Think Like a Buyer, helping you confidently prepare, present, price, and sell your artwork by understanding how buyers actually evaluate it.

I have a better grasp on what's possible, avenues to explore, and a glimpse into an industry that felt completely shut out before.

The course peels back the curtain on an industry that has been overlooked... I gained a lot of knowledge and clarity.

- Melissa McKeagney

I truly believe in what is possible. You're helping me put all the pieces together.

Why this course?

Most artists assume they need more artwork.

In reality, many opportunities are won or lost because artists don't yet understand how manufacturers evaluate collections, how licensing works, or how to present their work commercially.

Once you understand how buyers think, you'll create, organize, present, and price your work with far more confidence, and get better results.
