1:1 CREATIVE MENTORSHIP PACKAGES

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

Navigating your journey as a creative professional instead of a hobbyist is not for the faint of heart. 

You love the work you do. But instead of thriving while you pursue your passion, it feels like you’re drowning in the possibilities, creating without a clear sense of direction, wondering why your work isn’t selling, and most days, you find yourself stumbling, unsure where to channel your energy.

You feel… 

  • like you’re navigating the unknown and wish you had a trusted tour guide to help you sift through the noise, navigate your path, and stay the course.

  • overwhelmed by your diverse interests. And the endless possibilities that once inspired you now leave you feeling paralyzed and a little lost.

  • confused about where your work fits in and what you should do with it. If you’re being totally honest with yourself, you’re feeling stuck.

It’s time to make the creative career you’ve been dreaming of a REALITY.

I’ll be there to cheer you on as you reach for those big dreams of yours.

MEET YOUR MENTOR

Hello, I’m Rebecca!

I have over two decades of experience working in the freelance and in-house design world. I’ve worked in luxury, interior design, publishing, stationery, fashion, and accessories. As a result, I have extensive experience in many different facets of the design industry.

I am a practicing designer who is active in the design community. Creating lights me up, but nothing is more fulfilling than supporting my fellow creatives!

Outside of surface design, my strengths lie in art direction, idea generation, and out-of-the-box thinking, which serve me (and you!) well as a mentor. 


 

YOU NEED A STRATEGY

Instead of feeling overwhelmed, what if you could feel empowered to explore the possibilities with the structure and support you need to choose the opportunities that make sense for you.

What would it feel like to…

  • Work with a surface design veteran who knows the ins and outs of the design world (including licensing, production, printing, manufacturing, workflows, and more), who can answer your specific questions, inspire new ideas, and help you FINALLY get the ball rolling.

  • Finally getting “unstuck” with an infusion of out-of-the-box ideas that you’ve never thought of before.

  • Have a strategic, clear plan that influences how, what, when, and where you create so you can elevate your work, find the right “home” for your designs, attract your ideal customer, and feel confident as you build and sustain momentum. 

  • Curate an intentional portfolio specific to your perfect-for-you industry.

Custom Coaching

I don’t believe in cookie-cutter guidance. I take the time to deeply understand your work, help you define your goals, get to the root of your current obstacles, and create a realistic plan tailored to YOU.

Purposeful Planning

Put an end to impulsive trial and error that leaves you running in circles, getting nowhere fast. I pull from my diverse experiences across industries to help you make intentional choices that will give you the results you’re looking for. 

Action-inspiring Accountability

I’m here for you! Lean on me for support as you implement your plans. The creative journey doesn’t have to be a solitary one. You are now part of my extensive community of creatives from across the globe!

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

“I have learned so much from Rebecca thus far and can only imagine how much more I will learn with all the knowledge she has to offer!”

I am so grateful for Rebecca’s patience and detailed teaching methods. I very much appreciate the sense of community she has built and her commitment to helping other creatives succeed.” 

– Michelle Patino

WHO’S THIS FOR?

All of my packages are perfect for you if…


  • You have at least 2 years of experience as a designer and are trying to establish where your work fits in the marketplace. 

  • You want to take your design work more seriously and be seen as a professional instead of just a hobbyist.

  • You’re a mid-career artist who is looking for clarity and direction to take your creative work to the next level. 

  • You’re a designer who is curious about branching out into the surface design and textiles world for the first time and would like some guidance, tutoring, and support.


If any of these sound familiar, I have a package for you!

“Rebecca is a mentor who cares about your progress and your ambitions.” 

She is a creative problem solver who challenges you to be the same. She offers wisdom from the world of pattern design as she has worked in many industries within the field. Rebecca's influence and knowledge are far-reaching, and I am grateful to be her student.” 

– Hanna Meshell

On a mission to debunk the starving artist myth

 

When I was just getting started as a freelance designer IN 2005, I fumbled to get my business off the ground, duct=taping things together behind the scenes.

Luckily, I was able to connect with mentors who had blazed the trails before me and were willing to offer me the feedback, encouragement, insight, and wisdom I so desperately needed. These relationships helped me stay the course, pursue my vision, and ultimately find success.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed countless designers doubt their skills, question their direction, and feel utterly paralyzed by all of the professional options. 

With experience, I naturally found myself supporting my fellow artists. My peers often ran different ideas by me, and I always loved helping them brainstorm and evolve their ideas. 

At this point in my career, I’m leaning into this skill set that lights me up and serves my community. 

Now, I believe it’s my time to give back. 

So I’ve made it my mission to debunk the starving artist myth once and for all and empower multi-passionate creatives like YOU with the tools, inspiration, resources, and innovative ideas you need to thrive.

I want YOU to feel empowered to find where your art fits in the world so you can successfully step into your design career with confidence, clarity, and direction. 

Today, I help creatives bridge the gap between where they are & where they aspire to be.

IT TRULY FUELS MY SOUL.

MY APPROACH

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
