“My art is featured on fabric collections, greeting cards, and a whole host of other products sold around the world. I love teaching other creatives how to use their iPads to make professional artwork that stands out online and in print!”

Who is this class for?
- Creative people who have an iPad, but aren't sure how to use Procreate yet.
- Procreate users who feel like they've "missed something" because drawing in the app is a constant struggle.
- People who have an iPad, don't feel creative, and believe they can't draw -- let me prove you wrong!
What Can You Make in Procreate?
You can design artwork for nearly any physical or digital product using Procreate, but here are a few of my personal favorites:
- greeting cards that I sell to art licensors and in my own online shop
- stickers and digital downloads
- illustrations and patterns for print or digital use
- hand lettering compositions
