Spilling the tea: My highest earning income stream as an independent designer.
How do you know which income streams are best in your creative business? I have several favorites, but let’s talk about my current top earning income stream as a surface pattern designer. It may surprise you!
The collection that made me cry.
You know that I adore being a surface pattern designer. But today I am going to share with you a project that for me was bittersweet. I completely designed a fabric collection and finished a quilt with that very fabric for my beautiful daughter … and then she left for college.
It’s me, hi!
It’s me, hi! My name is Erin and I am an artist and surface pattern designer. I am currently offering my designs on fabric and home goods on multiple print-on-demand sites, freelancing for childrenswear and gift wrap companies, and licensing my designs in different industries. I continue to pitch my work and am open to new opportunities. I am so looking forward to whatever comes next. And I’m going to share it with you.
