Skillshare is an online learning platform specifically designed for creators and makers of all stripes. Anyone can join Skillshare and enroll in online classes, watch video lessons, create projects, and even become a teacher. After I graduated college, I knew I didn't want to go to art school for my master's degree because of the expense, but I also knew I desperately wanted to continue learning about art. Discovering online resources for learning such as Skillshare has had a huge impact on my life. Since joining Skillshare, I've discovered a passion for creating repeating patterns, become an Adobe Illustrator pro, learned how to better market and brand my work, and countless other skills. It is because of affordable avenues of learning like Skillshare that I am now a full-time surface pattern designer and art licenser, and I couldn't be more grateful. As a Skillshare member, you’ll have access to thousands of online classes that you can watch on your own time, taught by creators from all around the world. The classes that I teach focus primarily on pattern design, creative entrepreneurship, watercolor techniques, and character design.
