Turn what you see into pattern.

A free creative workbook to help you slow down, look closer and begin turning the things that catch your eye into visual ideas.

You don't need to be a pattern designer.


You don't need to know how to draw.


You don't need special tools.

You only need curiosity and something to look at.

YOUR TEACHER

Meet Darija Bazdan

I have always been a collector of details.

A shape on an old building.
The colour of a flower after rain.
A fragment of a painting in a museum.
The rhythm of an arcade.
A memory from the sea where I grew up.

Over the years, I learned that these seemingly unrelated things could become a visual language.This is what I now teach.

I don't want to teach you how to draw like me.


I want to help you discover what only you can see and trasform it into your own visual language of patterns.

I don't teach you what to see. I teach you how to see.
