Whenever I hit a creative roadblock, my first step is usually to take a break and play with the colors in a pattern. It's crazy how much switching up the colors can completely change a pattern like this floral. Do you have a favorite? I love them all, but I'm especially into the navy and yellow one.
Are you tired of patterns yet?! I sure hope not because I love this set so much! Can you tell I'm ready for summer?!

I've learned that sometimes it is essential to take breaks from the administrative tasks of a creative business to um, actually create ;)
Making patterns is one of my favorite ways to take a quick break from the mundane tasks. Not only does it get the creative juices running, but I'm usually able to use the patterns in a later project.
These patterns were all actually made with the "leftovers" from all of the other patterns I've been making.

I've been having so much fun making patterns! Seriously, once I get started, it's hard to stop! I especially love making florals and the last one is probably my most favorite pattern I've ever made.
When I'm making a "random" pattern, I always try to make sure that the repeat isn't obvious. Like, it should take more than a few seconds to find where the pattern repeats itself.

When I was in college, I took Greek and Roman Mythology to fulfill a general credit and literally the only way I stayed awake through the lectures was by doodling geometric patterns. As much as I love florals, sometimes I just really like playing with simple shapes.

One of my favorite things about being a designer is seeing how quickly my skills grow. I don't mean that in an arrogant way at all, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen something from a year, a few months, or even a few weeks ago and thought about how much better I could do it now.
My love for floral patterns runs deep, but I used to be extremely intimidated by making them. Now that I've grown into my own style, they're one of my favorite things to make and once I get started I can't stop!
I also used to struggle with making patterns with colored backgrounds. It seemed like everything just looked better on white. Now I have a hard time deciding on just one color option, which is not a bad thing at all!
