S P R O U T
Given the right conditions, seeds have the ability to lie dormant for years. But as soon as they're planted, nourished and surrounded by the nutrients that are necessary for growth, they begin to sprout.
R O O T
Once sprouted, seeds begin to take root. Roots grow by attaching themselves to a greater or more fundamental whole, which provides them with support that helps establish them deeply and firmly.
F L O U R I S H
Once rooted, plants begin to flourish. As the result of being in a healthy environment, they grow in a vigorous way, developing rapidly and successfully, they begin to thrive.
Flour·ish /flÉ™riSH/ verb.

Tessie Snow
"I adore the membership because it has given me the creative friends that I was desperately yearning for. My daily life was filled with great people and relationships but no one quite understood my big dreams and the ins and outs of making those big dreams become a reality. Inside, I have found like minded creative people that understand exactly what I am going through and are always willing to listen, lift and encourage. "
Julie Miller
"I have been a member for many years. The thing that I adore about Bonnie's community is the love, attention and support that she pours into it. She and her tribe are so incredibly positive and supportive! I always feel safe to share ideas, ask for inspiration or share my challenges in this beautiful group. Flourish is also a fantastic resource for inspiration. Whenever I am feeling stuck creatively, a visit to the membership helps to perk me up & draws the creativity out of me in such a positive and lovely way. I will forever be a member. ♥"
Sophia Van Hees
"Finding the this community opened up my eyes to the wonderful world of surface pattern design, and I haven't looked back since! It is not only a tremendous resource for SPD-related information, but also such an incredibly supportive and generous community. I really feel a genuine connection with like minded people in this group, which has been instrumental (essential!) in keeping me going and pursuing this career."
MaryLou Wade
"This membership ignited a passion that truly brings love and meaning into my life learning this process. Nearing retirement, feeling this venue will keep my creative mind working a long time. Flourish provides comfort, yet pushes one to step out of the comfort zone to expand one's self-imposed limits to conquer the fear factor. The support and resources from the membership are truly phenomenal."
Diane Sullivan
"This is an amazing wealth of resource you are providing. I have not found any other resource that speaks so honestly and willingly about so many different topics related to SPD, as well as sharing tutorials and learning opportunities. It is a gift to be a part of this membership. "
Jo Richards
"This membership has given me a community of like minded creatives, all on different stages of their journey and all willing to share their knowledge and stories to help inspire and support each other. It’s provided me with a wealth of knowledge, and instant access to skills refreshers, tutorials and inspiring artists that I wouldn’t otherwise have."

Nope! :) 100% of the course content is hosted directly within the private student membership site and you can interact with other members using the comments section on each post. Members are always invited to ask questions for live calls in advance, and the video replays are always added to the membership site. Many students do find the private Facebook community a great way to connect and get feedback on their work, though!
Great question! I designed these two programs to compliment each other, while also stand on their own.
Immersion is an in-depth 8 week course that teaches Adobe Illustrator and acutely focuses on becoming a surface pattern designer.
Flourish is a monthly membership with content delivered each week (which then gets archived into The Library). I do not train on Illustrator within Flourish, rather we focus on strategies for longterm growth as an artist or designer. A few examples of trainings that I cover in Flourish would be developing a productive workflow, building your brand, growing an authentic following, Email list growing, heartfelt marketing, selling online as an artist and the art of copywriting. We also do a live Q&A call each month and a design challenge.
I suggest really going through The Library to see what all is offered. We would love to have you! :)
Your membership may be canceled at any time, no questions asked (it's simple to do inside the private membership portal). Due to the digital nature of the tribe, refunds are not available, so be sure we're a good fit before you purchase!
