LAST DAY OF ENROLLMENT IS FEBRUARY 20, 2024. DON'T MISS OUT!

As you know (or not), I’m based in Melbourne, Australia and so I would say a lot of it is relevant to us here in Australia or wherever you're from. To be honest, the licensing market is still fairly new in Australia so what you’ll learn from Immersion will be above and beyond, which is great because when you deal with bigger companies and organisations, you know what they want and need. 

There are a lot of smaller businesses that are starting to license in Australia but most of them don’t know what it involves, so it is incredibly useful that you know your stuff so that you can stand your ground, especially when it comes to contracts and pricing. 

Q: I'm not based in the U.S., will what I learn from Immersion still be relevant to me?

The first 15 and lucky winners to the coaching call will be notified within a week after Immersion enrollment cart closes or when I get my affiliate report from the Immersion team. The bonus sessions will be delivered between May 1 - August 1 2024. You will be notified by email with all the details as soon as possible. the Zoom call is recorded so if you can't make it live to the Q&A zoom call, the replay link will be sent to you. 

Q: When will I know if I've made the first 15 for the 1:1 coaching call? when you deliver the group Q&A and will there be a replay?

Oh man, I remember that feeling. It’s the pits. I had just enough money to sign up for Immersion and I felt so torn. Do I spend more money on yet another course that may do nothing for my career, or do I use it towards groceries? I was a new mum, so nappies and formula milk was always on the list (I couldn’t breastfeed, but that's an entirely different story).

This was what I’d say to everyone: If it doesn’t break the bank, and you can still afford the necessities e.g. pay the bills, mortgage/ rent, put food on the table, then I’d say, “Yes, it’s VERY much worth the investment.”

I had to give a career talk to my son recently, and my little guy was so proud of me. He was wearing the raincoat I’d design, showing off all the stuff that had my art on it to his classmates. It was so sweet and a little embarrassing. To see him so full of pride for me and my work made me feel that I made the right choice.

Your kids will learn from you. They will see how hard you’ve work towards your dreams and passion. And to me, that’s such a valuable life lesson.

Q: I'm afraid to invest so much in a course that doesn't guarantee anything (I could use the money for groceries!).

I think the modules in Immersion can still be advantageous for professional graphic designers especially when it comes to how to make a collection, putting a portfolio together, how to pitch to clients and understanding contracts. The business aspect of being a surface designer is so important.

The best part of being a surface designer is the freedom to make art that represents you. You're giving voice to your creative expression. It's not your clients, their brand and product - it's all you. You get to put the beauty you create out in the world.

Then, there's also making your art work hard for you. As a graphic designer and illustrator, that piece of work is only meant for one use and one client, but with surface design, it can be put on as many products possible for several clients (depending on the agreement, of course, but if you know how to negotiate, it can be done towards your advantage). Working like that will give you more time to do other things.

I love that you already know illustrator and have a background in graphic design, which means you’re already ahead of the game. I come from an advertising background and have used Illustrator for many years but boy, what I learned from Immersion was next level. It improved my workflow in ways I didn’t even know I could. You don't know what you don't know.

Q: I'm already work as graphic designer, how will taking Immersion benefit me?

Immersion is perfect for beginners. You don't need to know how to draw, or be good at it. Bonnie has always claimed she was not a good drawer (I know, it's hard to imagine), but it's all in the 'tricks'. There are many ways to create art without knowing how to draw and Bonnie teaches all the different strategies. And if you need more help, the support team is there for you. Note: Having a good eye is always a good thing. You're already ahead of the crowd.

Q: I've never touched Illustrator in my life! I don't even know how to draw but I always had a good eye. Is Immersion for me?

It's never too late and as Bonnie always says, "there's room for you". All our lives, we were told to be a certain 'someone' - how to be the perfect daughter, the perfect wife, the perfect mother and all our dreams were pushed out of sight. This is the time to for you to do what you want, to listen to our long-forgotten inner child and let us be who we are meant to be.

When I took the step towards the Immersion Course, I gave myself the permission to do what my soul has always needed. And it was like walking into playground for artists, oooh everything was so visually beautiful and inspiring. I finally allowed myself to just be and inhaled all the lessons!

I highly recommend letting go of any pressure to earn an income as a designer for the first two years and just focus on honing in your skill. I promise that once you follow your passion, the money will eventually follow.

Q: I'm in my 50s, is it too late for me to have a creative career?
