Meet Brandie Cazimero-Ornellas

Before I found Bonnie and surface pattern design, I felt like I had been on a life-long journey toward finding the true expression of my creativity. I had always known since I was a young girl that I would be a designer someday and that I wanted to have my own business. Immersion was exactly what I needed. My only hesitation at first was the financial investment because quite frankly I didn’t have the money. It was a big investment in myself and my creativity and after going through Immersion I can say that it was absolutely worth it and I’m so happy I did.

The technical skills, knowledge, and guidance gained from taking Immersion were absolutely essential to kickstart my business. Since completing the course I have been able to create two collections and launch my own POD store on Zazzle and Spoonflower. I have collaborated with Zazzle on a special holiday wrapping series featuring my wrapping paper and gifting products. I also illustrated for a cookbook with Hawaiian Airlines which should be coming out this year. 

I’m looking forward to creating 3 new collections this year, finishing my portfolio, and licensing my art. I’m excited to continue growing my brand and business!
