Hi! My name is Oksana. I am an artist, textile designer, and a creative soul. I help customers envision and design beautiful products that will wow and connect their customers. I am also passionate about sharing my experience of running a textile design business with fellow creatives.

Up to this point, I created more than 5000 vector repeat patterns and worked on more than 58 freelance surface pattern design projects. In this video, I talk about my experience getting started on the path of a self-taught textile designer.

I’ve been receiving many questions about how yo use vector repeat pattern swatches in Adobe Illustrator. Here is my quick Adobe Illustrator guide for beginners.

So you want to design a fabric, a bag, a piece of clothing, a greeting card, or any other product and you have purchased a vector repeat pattern file and can't locate it and apply it in your product design projects, this video is for you.
