Our Pattern Design Journey: From Creating Pretty Things to Building a Real Business

Hey pattern design friends! We've been on this creative roller coaster for a while now, and let's be honest - making beautiful patterns is the easy part. Turning them into actual income? That's where we've all been stumbling.

After months of trial and error (and yes, a few tearful moments staring at our empty bank accounts despite folders full of gorgeous designs), we've finally started mapping out what a sustainable pattern design business actually looks like.

We're not experts - we're still figuring this out alongside you! But we wanted to share what's been working for us as we transition from "hobby pattern makers" to "professional design entrepreneurs":

How we assessed our current position (the good, bad, and the ugly)

The SMART goals framework we adapted specifically for pattern designers

Our strategy for building cohesive collections that actually sell

The industry calendar that keeps us from missing key opportunities

How we're balancing pattern design with our day jobs

The biggest revelation? Pattern design business planning doesn't have to kill creativity - it actually gives you more freedom to create what you love sustainably!

If you're somewhere on this same journey, come join us as we navigate the business side of pattern design together. We're sharing all our findings, templates, and lessons learned (including the embarrassing ones) here: https://design2repeat.com/pattern-design-business-goals

What's been your biggest struggle in turning pattern design into a business? Drop us a note - we're all figuring this out together! 💜

This is one of my favorite patterns that I keep returning to and playing around with. This time in the coloring phase, I wanted a soft, slightly faded/worn look. Although I don’t have a rug mock up, I think as an area rug this design would be a stunner❤️❤️ I’m slowly adding products to my new website on the @bigcommerce platform so stay tuned…😁 also, a big shoutout of congrats 🍾 to @spoonflower on their latest big news!!!!

This is my entry for this week's #spoonflower design challenge. The theme for this week is #shibori, a traditional #japanese dyeing technique which involves using indigo dye to create unique patterns on fabric. My design isn't actual shibori, but it was inspired by it. 😉 . . . . #DominicAyuso #patterndesign #patterns #estampados #diseñotextil #fabricdesign #surfacepattern #patternobsessed #designchallenge #watercolor #acuarela #illustration #ilustración #patternobserver #artlicensing #wallart #surfacedesign #art #arte #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepatterncommunity #floralpattern #abstractpattern (at Tegucigalpa, Honduras) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxKtuRgFsKs/?igshid=1e4hxyb99yteq

I’ve always used clay as my canvas, etching into the surface all of my imaginings. I love working with different ceramic forms and developing marks that sit upon it’s surface. These 4 are not to big and can hang on your wall with a little sticky hook. I’ve just put these new wall pieces up online, link in profile. #patternobsessed #ceramicmarks #ceramicwalpieces #tradethemark (at TRADE the MARK)
