Start Here: Your Guide to Seamless Patterns, Creative Confidence & Tools That Actually Work

Welcome, Creative Friend 👋

If you're new here — hi! I'm Mandy Corcoran, the artist and educator behind Amanda Grace Design.

I help beginner and intermediate digital artists build beautiful, professional surface pattern designs using Procreate and Photoshop — and I show you how to actually sell them. Without burning out. Without feeling behind. And definitely without gatekeeping the good stuff.

Whether you're drawing during nap time or carving out space for creativity after work, you're in the right place.

Let me show you around. 🎨

What You’ll Find Here

• ✨ Creativity That Fits Your Life
• 🧠 Smart, Time-Saving Tools
• 📈 Real Growth for Your Art Biz

If you're ready to design smarter, not harder — I’ve got you.

Step 1 – Grab My Favorite Freebies

• ✅ Free Pattern Tester Tool: Instantly preview your Procreate or Photoshop repeat patterns online
• 📬 Weekly Eduletter: 3 things I love, 2 biz tips, and 1 tech hack every Thursday
• 🧠 Master the ABCs of Your Art Biz Email Course: 5 days to nail your niche, ICA, and marketing with ease

Step 2 – Join a Course (and Skip the Overwhelm)

Want to turn your designs into something you can actually sell? I’ve got full courses for both Procreate and Photoshop users:

• ✏️ Procreate Pattern Collection Masterclass: Learn tossed, full-drop, and half-drop patterns with 25+ templates
• 🖥️ Photoshop Patterns Unleashed: Perfect for Spoonflower-ready repeat patterns + licensing
• 📋 Artful Notion: Build a creative business system that actually works

Step 3 – See What’s Possible (You’re Not Too Late)

My designs have landed in places like:

• 🛍️ HomeGoods
• 🧻 Geometry House
• 🎨 Spoonflower
• 🍎 And recently… Apple, where I’m teaching a live Procreate workshop in Washington DC

But I didn’t start there. I started in my 40s, with no art degree, homeschooling three kids and just trying to make something that felt me.

So if you're wondering if you’re too late, too scattered, or not "creative enough" — you’re not. You just need the right tools and a little guidance.
