The importance of branding in your design business
It's really important if you want to step up and stand out as a designer that you consider branding within your business.
Branding includes the assets you use e.g. fonts, colours and logos etc. but it goes far beyond that. Branding also includes your unique voice and the way you show up in your business.
In this podcast episode, we talk about the importance of branding within your design business and some tips for what you should and shouldn't do when it comes to branding.
Why you should create a mood board
Mood boards are such a great way to visually communicate your ideas and allow you to collate all of your inspiration in one place before you begin designing.
In this episode, I talk about what you should include on your mood board and why you should create one.

Collecting inspiration for your pattern designs
Have you ever sat down to start being creative and you've drawn a complete blank and you don't know where to start?
Finding inspiration is an important step in the design process as it will help you formulate your ideas and give yourself a direction to start developing your ideas from.
Do you feel like the surface pattern design market is oversaturated?
One of the things that I often hear is from pattern designers trying to get started in the industry is that the marketplace is oversaturated.
Although there are many more designers, there are also many more opportunities to be successful.
In this episode, I talk about the difference between someone who is successful or not and what it takes to be a successful designer.
Getting started with the essential design process
As a designer, there are so many different ways to work and it may often look from the outside like a designer just sits down and comes up with amazing designs but there's obviously more to it than that.
Although everyone will approach their work slightly differently there's a general design process that will usually take place.
In this episode, we look at an overview of the design process.
