Guest Blogger for Sketch Design Repeat - 2022

I had the opportunity to become a guest blogger for Sketch Design Repeat this year. To me, this is an honour in itself, because Shannon McNab taught me a lot throughout the last years. Without her I wouldn't be where I am today. She is a bundle of joy and information regarding surface design! And - she doesn't shy away from talking money!


Read on to find out more about Shannon, Sketch Design Repeat and the 2022 Blog Team.






SHANNON MCNAB & SKETCH DESIGN REPEAT


Shannon McNab


Shannon is an American surface designer and teacher, who just recently moved to Dublin, Ireland. I love her for her wisdom and her character. She's always fun to listen to and she shares a lot of industry insights. She also covers topics that other educators shy away from, like money, mindset and mental health.

She has worked with brands like Papyrus, Cloud9 Fabrics and Pyrex.

Sketch Design Repeat


This is her teaching platform, where she offers affordable courses for upcoming surface designers on how to get licensing deals and how to price their work. Her two main courses are "Pitch Your Portfolio" and "Artful Pricing". She also has a few classes on Skillshare.








MEET THE TEAM


I'm not the only one writing for Shannon this year. I'm surrounded by many talented, lovely ladies! We all come from different backgrounds and have different insights, so this year will be full of knowledge and wisdom.
