ACCESS THE VAULT Meet your mentor I’m Jessica, a knitting pattern designer and business coach who's passionate about helping other designers feel empowered, clear, and supported as they build businesses that actually fit their lives. Like you, I struggled to find other designers I could truly connect with, and I was frustrated by how little holistic support existed for our kind of creative business. I wanted guidance for the full picture: business, mindset, marketing, and design. A space that got the fiber industry. A space that felt safe, grounded, and aligned. And still acknowledged "real life" happening behind the scenes. So that's exactly what I created.

[...] If you want feedback or just a listening ear, you can’t find a better knit designer to turn to! -Nicole Smith As someone who works by herself, one of the hardest things about running my own business is not having a team to work with and bounce ideas off. Jessica’s ability to build community and invite people in to those communities has been invaluable in helping me solve that problem. In our group that she drew together I’ve gained a set of friends who I can trust to listen when I need to vent, provide suggestions when I’m stuck and celebrate my wins with me. Plus Jessica’s ability to actually keep our conversation on track is amazing. -Kat, Oliphant Kat 🌿 This is what you know… You love to work with yarn. Designing patterns lights you up.

Q: Will Pattern Design Circle enable me to create a full-time income with my designing business this year? A: Creating a full-time business takes a time and effort, especially in the knitting pattern design business. There are a lot of factors that come into play: where you're at in your business, what marketing strategies you're using, your mindset, and so much more. So, no, I can't promise you will end the year with a full-time income from designing. What Pattern Design Circle does include, however, are the resources and support system to grow your design business in a way that is authentic to you and will provide long-lasting success. Q: Who is Pattern Design Circle not for? A: Pattern Design Circle is not a good fit for designers that are uninterested in putting work into their business, or are expecting a magical secret to overnight success. It is also not a good fit for designers who prefer to dwell in overwhelm and negativity. And Pattern Design Circle is not for designers who are disrespectful or unkind to others.

They are already running a pattern design business, and they are craving the support, connection, and resources that will help them reach the next level. These are designers who desire to run a business that is unique and authentic to them. They're tired of fitting into the mold of "everyone else" and as a result, fitting into their business rather than their business fitting into them. And these are designers who value collaboration. They are eager to support and work with other designers. They don't want to view their peers as their competition, and they treat all humans with kindness and respect.
