Martie Erasmus

Surface Pattern Designer & Creative Educator

I believe creativity is something we steward and grow into with courage and consistency.

Pattern design can feel technical at first, but once you understand the structure, it becomes deeply freeing. I’ll guide you through the foundations in a way that feels clear, calm, and possible.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll discover what makes a pattern truly seamless and how different repeat structures work.

I’ll demonstrate the process, showing you how to place, test, and adjust your motifs so they repeat without visible seams.

By the end, you’ll have created your first repeat tile.

A Gentle First Step

This workshop is an invitation to explore what’s possible with your artwork.

If you’d love continued guidance after this, I offer a beginner-friendly 6-month journey inside my Rooted Creative Community — designed to help you build confidence and direction in surface pattern design.

For now, let’s simply begin.
