One of the things I really appreciated were the worksheets and Victoria's real-time guidance and comments.
“My struggle has always been choosing a color palette focusing on what I should be doing to create a cohesive collection. This course gave me all of that! I was also floundering and found that my creativity was at a standstill but I found that every Monday, which was when a new session was posted, I was recharged and excited. I'd even find myself thinking of designs before falling asleep at night! Best of all, there's so much support from Victoria as well as the group taking the course. If you're new or struggling with your art, this is the course to get you going!
Thank you, thank you, Victoria!”

Her approach to creating collections is quite different from what I had heard before (creating repeat patterns).
“Victoria explains the concepts and breaks down everything so well! Her approach to creating collections is quite different from what I had heard before (creating repeat patterns). She puts emphasis on creating exceptional artwork and explains with a lot of her personal examples of why that is the most crucial aspect of your portfolio. She is very active in the Facebook group and provides honest, valuable feedback.
I would highly recommend this class. Thank you so much, Victoria for sharing your knowledge with us!”

It changed my idea of what makes a successful collection.
“I really enjoyed Victoria’s Create Collections course. It was so informative yet manageable at the same time. It changed my idea of what makes a successful collection.
Victoria also opened my eyes to thinking outside the box when working on the layout - I was trapped thinking things needed to “make sense”. Her approach to building a signature color palette also came in handy - as I ended up with a varied and cohesive collection I am proud of.”

Create Collections was a fascinating, in-depth course, that left me with the tools to create better portfolio pieces and the ability to make myself more marketable.
“Create Collections (along with all of Victoria's other wonderful classes), has been an absolute life-changer for me. I started taking her online classes with my very old, outdated, and underwhelming portfolio in hand.
A little over a year later, I have an entirely new body of work (that I'm proud of!) a solid understanding of the field of surface pattern design and licensing, and the confidence to make more and more. Each class is clear, easy to understand, and so much fun.”

As an aspiring surface designer, the course was fundamental for me to understand the concepts that are needed to create cohesive pieces based on my own palette and style.
“This is my first time taking Victoria's classes and I really enjoyed the course. The course is well structured; all the lessons are clear and easy to understand.
Another differential is that Victoria provides valuable feedback in the Facebook group which helped me to evaluate and improve my pieces. I also had the opportunity to meet talented classmates. I highly recommend this course.”

It helped me understand how to create my collections around my own color palette and how to build a strong and commercial body of work.
“I really enjoyed Victoria's Create Collections Course.
She gives lots of useful information and practical advice on how to move forward with your style, creating new and strong pieces with cohesion and consistency.
Victoria also provides valuable feedback and you can learn as much with your own work as with your classmates. Highly recommended!!”

Victoria’s class was just what I needed!
“It helped me to understand color, cohesion of my collection, and how to make all that happen. It was the perfect pace so I didn’t feel rushed or pressured.
We were provided with briefs and I was able to refer back to them and dissect them to really understand what was needed.
The Facebook group was wonderful with suggestions and lots of support. Victoria was also there to offer support and guidance when we asked for it.
This class is great for beginners or more experienced artist, I would highly recommend it for anyone!”

This is a fantastic course that every designer or budding designer can enjoy and benefit from.
“If you are an established designer looking to be more productive and have better direction and flow to your process, this course really helps you to think about how to progress from one piece of work to the next and then collection to collection.
If you are starting out and looking to make more coherent work and understand what makes a strong collection, again you will find this course very helpful.
Highly recommend this course, wherever you are on your design journey.”
