Do you want to get lost in your process
knowing you're doing the right things?
I can help you with that.
Are you tired of riding the rollercoaster of feast and famine in your creative career? You are not alone.
This membership was created to serve and support designers struggling with this by providing exactly what they needed to succeed.
To help learn the practical stuff (the methods, techniques, and strategies) and figure out the “how do I make this successful in the long game?” question.
To be immersed in a waterfall of new ideas and techniques to experiment with?
To push their creative boundaries to the realm of "I didn't know this was possible for me!"

Being diverse isn't about losing your identity;
it’s about AMPLIFIYING it.

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT MIX
want a slice?
Until this space, the only way to learn from me was through my extensive courses. And to get my eyes and support on your art and design business was through my complete compositions course. - but then what?
So many of you went through the courses and wanted more...
Others weren't ready for them but wanted a place to start with structure and guidance.
This membership is the perfect combination of
learning, support, inspiration, implementation & accountability.
all in one place.
No modules and no heavy curriculum to fall behind on.
Loads of digestible content to help you grow and evolve into the creative you desire.
Best of all, you’ll learn from someone who’s like you. Someone who’s walked the walk, started at the beginning and is a walking-talking creative junkie.
Hi! Here we are! That's me, and a tribe of other successful designers too (your fellow in-housers) 
SO WHO AM I?
Howdy, I'm Natasha
An international print designer and artist. For the past 14+ years I've been working in the textiles industry creating SELL OUT collections all through the power of hand-crafted original artwork.
You will find most of my artwork in the stores of high-street giants you know and love.
If you haven't guessed already, florals are my favourite.
But why my designs are different is because I create everything traditionally. 100% made by me, no pixels or snapping lines are generalising my hand.
At University my tutor told me; "If you can paint flowers, you will always have a job in the textiles industry". It doesn't have to stop at flowers. Your painterly skills can cross many dimensions. It's about experimenting, finding what you love, and your way to do it. This results in things only you can produce.
Psst...
WITH UNIQUE SKILLS YOU'LL LAST THE LONG GAME!

This is your path to a multi-skilled pattern designer.
THERE IS GOLDUST
found in creative communities.
As my early design years were spent as in-house designer, I know the full power of a creative studio.
The simple action of watching.
Appreciating and understanding your peers is a force to be reckoned with. To see others come up with new designs sparks new ideas. To align and be inspired, not to compete.
BUT LET'S BE REAL
freelancing is hard work
You need to be thinking about new ideas continuously, and know what's trending, and what your customers want...all whilst working solo, without the luxury of bouncing ideas off of fellow designers.
- There is a lot of "prepping the pipes" before you can let your creativity flow.
- There's no one directing, no one helping with decision-making.
- Being a constant treadmill of creative ideas is hard, oftentimes, the more you force it the stronger the creative block!
- It's lonely. You miss that organic creative hub and chatting with like-minded peers. This leads to procrastination and getting struck with a little white box syndrome. (and social scroll whoops!)
- No one else around to inspire, share knowledge and processes, or elevate energy! NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
LET ME ASK YOU...
Question:
How much time are you spending deliberating over what's trending, whether you should do this or that instead of actually designing?
Question:
Are you spending precious time researching and mood-boarding instead of actually creating?
Question:
Are you too focused on nailing what's happening NOW instead of what will last? (it doesn't always have to be the trend)
Question:
Are you stuck with one style, one look… meaning your sales potential will plateau.
Ultimately you are spending time thinking, and not actually doing.
Throw out the "How to be a successful surface pattern designer" handbook.
Who said the riches are in the niches?… not in this game!
Not when it can stunt your creativity, your development, your messy side, the side we need to be active. (you heard it here first).
You’re not abandoning your unique style—you’re expanding on your creative greatness.
I’ve never had the discipline to consistently do things I’m not obsessed with. And I'm obsessed with creating gorgeousness and enjoying every part of the process. The messy, the midway and the marvellous!
This is the way you want to work
you just didn't know you were allowed to...
Let's face it
IF YOU'RE STILL HERE
you already know you're interested
This is perfect for you if you're...
A print/pattern designer
An aspiring print/pattern designer
An artist ready to dive into something new
A creative person who wants to stretch their abilities and experiment
And you are...
Eager to learn new skills and new ways to utilise the ones you already own
Ready to embrace the messy to unlock the marvellous
After a community to grow, inspire and encourage with. (AKA become an Inhouser)
And you want to...
Have new design ideas to show clients consistently, and with confidence.
Expand your repertoire
Figure it out. The possibilities, the bits you like, the bits you don't.
Have a multidisciplinary hand within your collection to draw in more DREAM clients.
Become so obsessed with creating hand-drawn artwork, you can’t NOT do it.
As a designer and artist
it's integral to shake up your style, inject new avenues, and allow your hand to travel in different directions to make more sales.
After all, no one wants the same design twice!
BUT YOU NEED SOMEWHERE TO TURN
when your blank page is staring back at you?
MY GOAL
IS FOR YOU TO
Become a creativity machine, doing work that makes you feel self-expressed, alive, and engaged.
Tap into your talent, and experience breakthroughs in areas where you’ve been stuck forever.
Be free to create instead of just thinking about creating!
Say to me, “OMG I no longer feel like I'm churning!”
LET ME CHANGE
YOUR LIFE
I've created the Inhouse Creative for all of the reasons above.
This membership provides a space that will remove some of that burden. It will inject inspiration and guidance creatively whilst also teaching you some new techniques for you to use to allow you to thrive.
I'm going to give you all of the above…learning, inspiration and structure so you can spend less time thinking and more time doing…Alongside a heap of connection, community, and creativity.
It's time to knock it up a gear.
Action begets action.
Let's Go!

courses and memberships
Education
monthly TUTORIAL
Alongside a monthly brief and mood board there is a tutorial that takes you through different techniques and styles of creating artwork.
monthly live workshop
Here I interpret the mood board and this month's technique into something new.
This is very interactive over zoom, a great mixture of experimentation and fun, and a great way to see how other creative brains work.
GUEST EXPERTS
There will be monthly mood boards that will coincide with the monthly tutorial and workshop. This provides some direction so you can dive into creating instead of thinking about "what to do". It also pushes you to experiment with something you would perhaps otherwise avoid.

To push you to do every part of the process we run monthly collab projects.
These don't only test your knowledge, it will push you to design to someone else's brief.
Accountability
Digital co-working
2 x 1-hour sessions each week. These are optional, but a really great way for you to be accountable, stop the scrolling and spend a full hour working with no distractions.
These sessions are over zoom, everyone is on mute and spends the hour working on their own things.
Accountability buddies
Find it hard to reach your goals? Your not alone!
Buddying up gives you someone to talk to about your goals and ideas (who isn't your mum and/or partner) who will help keep you on track, inspire you to push forward, and drive you to succeed.

DEEP DIVES
We will be adding mini-courses to the content throughout the membership to give you a short deep-dive into specific areas.

WHAT THEY SAY...
I love being part of the In House Creative group, it’s great to connect with like-minded designers from around the world and Natasha is incredibly generous with her time and knowledge of the industry. The monthly tutorials are always a great learning resource and have helped me be more experimental with my painting. This is without question the best membership for textile design.
I am also new to design and currently working towards a portfolio to hopefully work for a studio. I am so glad I joined the In House community. There’s so many tutorials to stretch my skill set and challenge new ways of working. Lots of content to keep me inspired and also a really friendly community to ask questions from. Plus plenty of ‘Natasha time’ with co-working sessions, live Q+A and monthly paint along creative club. I feel really supported and inspired and feel like I am in the perfect community to work towards my dream of being a designer.
Without the In House community, especially while I am in the beginnings of my career, I definitely would not be growing as much as I am and I don’t think I would have made it this far in the past year without it. Many of us cannot work in-house and therefore cannot gain the experience we need to work in the industry. In House Creative helps bridge that gap.
I LOVE In-House Creative. I look forward to the new tutorials every month, and paint along in the lives when I can (as there’s often valuable feedback given in these too). The co-working sessions are invaluable, and help structure my day. The depth of knowledge and industry experience in the group is amazing too, and everyone is so generous and encouraging.
I am really enjoying learning new techniques that are current and relevant for the textile market and connecting with other amazing creatives! I enjoy Natasha’s teaching style and the community shes created! Thank you!
I’ve really enjoyed the in house membership as I have been able to work my way through the older tutorials and start to improve my skills. I really enjoy the way that Natasha interprets whats trending in the industry/runways and puts her own spin on it with a monthly moodboard and tutorial. The membership also keeps me accountable to be working towards my goals and building up my portfolio of designs.
It helps me not only because of the new techniques that Natasha teaches us but because I feel within a group of very talented people who have the same concerns as me. It keeps me working and motivated.
The membership acts as a way to connect with other creative minds while working from home which can often be more isolated. I can be inspired by the monthly creative learning Tash creates, and how people interpret these as they share their creations. You can be interactive in the membership as much or as little as you want, but it’s always nice to give as much as you benefit, and join the co-working sessions where you can. You can bounce off others in more of a studio vibe, It’s a safe space to be able to share worky ideas and creations, as well as hear voices with industry concerns or experience and advice.
I love being part of the membership, the varied briefs provide a regular dose of inspiration, the opportunity to push my creative skills and try things I usually wouldn’t. The q&as are an invaluable resource, I always come away having learnt something new and Natasha and the other people in the membership are always so friendly and welcoming. It’s a lovely creative community to be a part of.
I love being a member of the In House Creative, it’s great being part of a creative community. It can be quite lonely working on your own but now I am part of this group of lovely people I always know there will be someone I can reach out to if I want a chat or some creative advice. The buddy system is brilliant too and I’ve met my buddy once in person and we email most weeks.
