About Your Teacher:

Hey there! I’m Rachael, a 20-something Aussie addicted to graphic design. I became obsessed with making organization pintables 3 years ago, but struggled to find pretty patterns to add to my designs. So I self-taught myself how to make patterns in Photoshop. I now have 2 Etsy shops:AllAboutTheHouse where I sell organization printables and PaperCravings, where I sell digital paper. I hope this ecourse saves you the hours of frustration I spent figuring out how to make chevron patterns in Photoshop!
