WHY DESIGN EFFICIENTLY?
This course teaches you industry-approved techniques for re-using motifs without losing clients—because time is money, and efficiency is key to success as a professional textile designer.
Many designers assume each set of motifs is limited to one design, leading to hours of work for minimal return. When you factor in research, painting, and cleaning up motifs, your hourly rate can drop below minimum wage. However, by learning how to re-use hand-painted elements across multiple designs, you can dramatically boost your productivity and income.

My favorite module was on color palettes. It made me conscious about color in context and us it as a source of inspiration. Now I feel more confident about my choices, about light and harmonies.
