Meet Your Guide To Floral Story Design
Licensed artist, Illustrator, Pattern designer, & Online Educator
I have been a self-taught illustrator and artist for over 10 years, and I have worked with brands to create artwork for their products around the world.
I have this idea that, as artists, we use our imagination to see the hidden stories of adventure in the fabric of our world.
We are visual storytellers.
I have designed my career in the pursuit and discovery of these adventure stories and turning those stories into artwork that brings us closer to nature and inspires the human spirit in us all.
I created this workshop because I want to teach about floral artwork in a way that can be easily implimented and have fun in the process.
So, I started developing my seasonal online workshops where we get to play with flowers. This is the second workshop in the seasonal workshop series!

Do I need an iPad and Procreate to take the workshops?
You can learn the concepts taught in the workshop without needing the program or an iPad. But if you want to follow along and practice then you will need Procreate, an iPad, and Apple Pencil to use the Procreate file templates.
Do I need Dropbox to take this workshop?
No, you don't need Dropbox to take this workshop. The downloadable files can be downloaded from the course platform to your computer or device. But, if you have a free Dropbox account you can use it to access files from your iPad. See Dropbox Basic plan and their site for more details.
I am a beginner, is this workshop right for me?
This workshop was designed with beginners in mind! So, yes it is right for you.
Though this is not an Intro to Procreate class. If you have never used Procreate before, open up the app and try it out before starting the workshop. All the video lessons are step-by-step and you will be able to do them easily with the included workshop lessons.
How will I access the community?
The campfire community offered through the workshops is available on a separate App that is not a part of the workshop learning platform. But you will have a community information product in the learning platform with details about the community and a link on where to go to access it sent via email. Invitations to the community are sent out via the App through the email you signed up for the workshop with at registration. Community access for 2025 is for all of 2025.
How long will I have access to the content?
You will have lifetime access to the content and bonus materials for this edition and release of the workshop. If, for any reason, a workshop is shelved in the future, you will be notified well in advance and will be able to download the content.
What if I cannot complete everything in one week?
The workshop lessons are a combination of text, resource documents, and video content and are short enough to be completed in as little as a few hours each day. But you can go at your own pace as you will have access to the content to resume when you are ready as the workshops are self-paced and if you need more time you can take your time to complete it.
Is this workshop live?
The workshop content is not live and videos are pre-recorded. There are no Zoom calls for this workshop. In the campfire community there is a chat feature and you will be able to connect with others as well as myself in the group.
What is the refund policy for the workshops?
Since they are a digital product and short workshops, there are no refunds on workshops. If you are unhappy with the workshop, please contact me to discuss.
Can you use the artwork in the workshops for commercial use?
No, all artwork provided in my workshops are for learning and practicing the lessons taught and may not be used in any commercial design for sale in any way. You may only use it for personal use to learn the concepts in the workshops.
