Pattern Planning and Goal Setting Group-Study
Our Pattern Planning and Goal Setting Group-Study started on Monday, Dec. 6th. We will have the live group chat Monday December 13th at 12pm. This year we have expanded the course to include access to WGSN Fashion or Home.
In this Group-Study you’ll clarify what you hope to achieve in 2022 and create an action plan that is broken down into quarterly tasks to get you there. At the end of this course, you will feel focused and in control—ready for this upcoming year!
You’ll know exactly what steps to take and how you can use The Textile Design Lab to achieve the goals you’ve laid out before you.
