Ali Hooten, Illustrator, Pattern Designer & Educator

This course is taught by me, Ali Hooten, an illustrator and surface pattern designer. This course is the most up-to-date version of how I personally organize all of my own pattern collections and swatches. I am a huge file nerd and love organization; plus, I deeply value my TIME and am sure you do too!

I have about a decade of experience teaching, most notably as a University Instructor in Visual Communication, Architecture, and Product Design. I love the challenge of distilling complex programs or concepts into digestible bites for every type of creative. I also hope to bring my own voice into the mix of online classes and pour every tip I know into my own courses :)
