When Bonnie Christine first dreamed of seeing her artwork on fabric, she was met with a tidal wave of overwhelm. She had no roadmap, no clear next steps—just a big dream and a million scattered tutorials. That confusion cost her 18 months of slow, uncertain progress.

In this episode, Bonnie shares the tool she wishes she had from day one: The Pattern Path, a six-stage roadmap that guides aspiring surface pattern designers from curious beginners to industry icons. Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck in the “daily scramble,” Bonnie helps you pinpoint exactly where you are and what to focus on next.

She walks through all six stages—Curious, Emerging, Confident, Profitable, Insider, and Icon—offering clear insight into what each one looks like and how to move forward. Bonnie also introduces the power of her "One Thing a Day" philosophy and shares inspiring stories of students who’ve followed this path to build creative, thriving careers at every age and stage.

This episode is both a compass and a boost of confidence. If you’ve been wondering how to turn your passion for design into a profitable, aligned career, this is your starting point.
