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 fourth, and last workshop in the seasonal workshop series!
Workshop Bonuses!

I loved the spooky aspect of The Fall Match projects, they felt perfect and i can see myself being inspired by the themes for my own projects!
Denise is an amazing instructor, she's so detailed and provides so much valuable information in each class- I have already taken a few of her courses and I keep coming back for more! I love how she has broken up each course by season- the focus for the Fall Match was spooky fall florals- and I loved it! I'm learning so much about flowers and greenery and have been using the field guides whenever I draw. Looking forward to the next course!

So many great gems I've learned in this workshop that I haven't learned in other courses about digital floral design.
I wanted to learn more about digital floral design to elevate my work in unique and beautiful ways. When I saw the post for Denise's spring workshop on Facebook, I immediately saved the post because I knew I wanted to participate when I had the time and money. I kept seeing the ads on my feed -- which was a clear sign that the time is now and that joining would be an investment in me and my growth as an aspiring illustrator and surface designer. So I found the time and money and joined! It was one of the BEST decisions I've made so far this year. The breadth and depth of knowledge that Denise has and shares with you in the workshop is truly awe inspiring. She takes you on an educational journey of digital floral design -- a great balance of structure, technique, and creativity. I've begun to look at flowers and plants through a more intentional lens thanks to Denise -- which has also shaped my creative approach for incorporating flowers and plants into my designs. I can't wait to apply the things I've learned in this workshop. And more importantly, I can't wait to learn and grow more as an artist through her upcoming seasonal workshops. Thank you so much Denise!!

This gave me the perfect checklist to design my illustrated Scriptures with spring florals.
I loved the Spring Workshop. I gained just the right tools and inspiration to complete my own projects.

I love Denise's layout classes!
As someone who illustrates a lot of plants and flowers, sometimes you find yourself using the same items over and over or using the same layouts a lot. It's nice to break out of the rut and learn some new things and find fun new things I can add in to my own art.

It was quite useful to see how you illustrate the flowers in different parts.
I don't learn easily or quickly right now, but you made this quite achievable and not overwhelming, even for quite complex materials!

It was an incredibly enriching experience!
I recently had the pleasure of taking Denise’s Spring Match Workshop. Denise’s guidance was clear, concise, and filled with expert tips that made the learning process enjoyable and accessible. I truly loved all the included handouts as well! By the end of the workshop, I not only felt confident in my ability to create stunning floral designs digitally but also gained a deeper appreciation for the intricate details of floral arrangements. This workshop has truly expanded my creative horizons, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the intersection of digital art and nature-inspired design.

I really liked learning about your method of putting together florals for a composition.
I love drawing florals but it can be so hard to know what to draw and what things to put together. I really enjoyed learning this technique for not only picking florals, but making compositions. I'll definitely be coming back to this!!!

I find the process (start to finish) the most helpful as my struggle quite often is getting started and structuring a design.
A very beautifully curated class with an easy to follow structure.

The layouts and the field guide were so useful! And communicating and getting feedback on Basecamp was priceless!

Every lesson is well-organized and planned with tons of helpful resources.
Florals for Products course is perfect for anyone wanting to get started in digital graphics. The course is well-paced, starting with many basics of Procreate and drawing from references. It progresses to include more detailed drawings with variety, working with fabulous color palettes, and then to create a final bouquet ready for printing. Denise is very knowledgeable and experienced.

Dip your toes into drawing digitally by learning to create leaf shapes in Procreate!
I learned a few of the many differences between how you approach a digital drawing from my usual medium. I like the ability to divide the drawing into layers, so that if you get one layer perfect, but need to work on the others, there is less lost time.

Workshops Frequently Asked Questions
All workshops include a Basecamp Campfire chat community where you can connect with other students and myself in the chat group for the year. All workshops also include email support and a Help Center with step-by-step videos to help you get started.
Workshops Questions & Answers Listed Below
Why is there no drawing involved in some of the workshops?
Each workshop is unique and teaches something new with tutorials designed to grow your design skills. The Winter workshop is focused on teaching pattern design and there is no drawing involved in this workshop. Each workshop progresses in art and design skills with Spring being the easiest, and each workshop progresses in difficulty. The Seasons workshop series is hyper-focused on teaching floral composition layouts and design. We will be mastering these skills in these workshops so when you are ready to create your own floral artwork, you have the foundation of these concepts to create beautiful designs. All the artwork is included in the workshop to start practicing right away! If you want to draw or use your own artwork you can, but there are no drawing lessons in the Spring, Summer, and Winter workshops. Currently only the Fall workshop includes drawing lessons.
Will the lessons learned work for other seasons of the year?
Yes, many of the lessons can be applied to other seasons of the year when it comes to combining plants, you would just use different plants to create your designs.
Do I need Adobe Photoshop to take this workshop?
In order to follow along and do the tutorials included in this workshop, you will need Adobe Photoshop to do them. But if you want to learn first and practice later you can do that too.
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. But, if you have a free Dropbox account you can use it to access files from your computer. See Dropbox Basic plan and their site for more details.
I am a beginner, is this workshop right for me?
The winter workshop is different than all of the other workshops because we are learning to create patterns in Adobe Photoshop and not using the iPad like we do in other workshops. Even though this workshop uses different software, it is designed with beginners in mind with easy to follow step-by-step tutorial 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 is for all of 2026.
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.
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.
