A quiet Sunday nudge🫖


… to your next step

Hello Reader,

If your brain is doing that Sunday thing—half resting, half mentally preparing for Monday—I want to give you a quick reset. Not a pep talk. Just clarity.

First: what “surface design” actually means

Surface design is creating artwork that’s meant to live on a product… usually as a repeat pattern.

It’s the skill behind:

  • fabric prints
  • wallpaper
  • gift wrap + stationery
  • home decor (pillows, rugs, quilts)
  • packaging (the kind you stop scrolling for)

So if you’ve ever looked at a print and thought, “How do people even make this?” —the answer is: they learn a repeatable process. Not magic. Not “talent you’re born with.” A process.

Now the Sunday reset question

Here’s the only question I’d ask you to sit with today:

Do you want to keep guessing… or do you want a real path you can follow?

Because that’s exactly what Bonnie Christine’s Surface Design Immersion is built for. It walks you through the full pipeline:

sketch → digitize in Illustrator → build repeats → create a collection → portfolio

Not in a scattered “try this, maybe that” way—more like a guided roadmap.

When you decide to enroll this week

When you join Immersion through my link, you'll get a group coaching session with me to help you choose your next steps after the course—so you don’t finish Immersion and then go, “Okay… now what?”

Don't miss the bonus

Bonnie is offering a special weekend-only bonus called the Momentum Method when you enroll by Sunday at midnight. It’s designed to help you keep consistent progress (even with a busy life) with small steps that actually add up.

You’ll get: a live 1-hour masterclass + Q&A with Bonnie, a click-and-add Immersion calendar, and a printable poster calendar to keep you moving forward.

Already enrolled? You’re covered—this bonus is automatically included.
If you haven’t joined yet and you want it, enroll before Sunday Night!

Bonus ends in:

If you’re feeling that quiet nudge, this is the time to listen to it.

Cheering you on,
Angel

P.S. If your hesitation is “I’m not ready” or “I don’t know Illustrator,” you’re not alone. Most people start there. The question isn’t whether you’re ready—it’s whether you want a clear path instead of guessing.
