Meet Brittany Wronka
Before starting my Surface Pattern Design journey, I had an itch to re-establish my creative roots, but was not sure where to start. My full-time job shifted remote with the pandemic, so I found myself having extra time that I wanted to put to good use - and rekindle my love for art.
That's when I stumbled upon Bonnie Christine and the Immersion course. I was initially hesitant as I didn't have Illustrator experience, and it was a big investment, but hearing Bonnie's story and the success of so many others like me pushed me to take the leap. And I am SO beyond glad I did!
Since taking Immersion, I have made 100's of patterns, including created 3-solid collections I feel super jazzed about. I've also turned my designs into real products that are successfully selling through my Etsy shop. I have also gotten comfortable sharing my creations on Instagram, which has enabled me to get featured on a few pattern-focused accounts and other small shop sites! Going into next year, I am determined to start an email list, get a portfolio together, and start formally pitching my work - I'm nervous, but beyond excited! I can say wholeheartedly I would be no where near where I am today if it wasn't for Immersion.
Thank you Bonnie and the whole Immersion team for showing me that with hard work, determination and community, I can turn my creative dreams into a reality.
