Who should take this workshop?
Whether you’re trying to improve your work, personal or family life, this course will help you turn your goals into reality. This workshop works best for creatives, parents and people who juggle a lot of responsibilities- who have the freedom to create their own schedule, but find it hard to be productive, stick to deadlines and meet goals.
Meet Your Teacher:
I’m Mirka, a published author and illustrator, an educator, artist, a mom and business owner. If I had a dime for every time some one wondered how I get so much done while staying at home with three kids, I’d be ready to retire.
I have ADHD and juggling a small multifaceted business, with family, life has taught me a lot about time management and organization. I’ve created a visual scheduling system that has helped me be more productive and that helps create order and calm in the chaos that I call life.
In this workshop, I worked to break my techniques and mindsets down for you and share how I set goals and structure my calendar for maximum productivity to accomplish everything that I want, while also working limited hours as a stay at home mom. I think this class will be beneficial for you if you are a creative who wears a lot of hats, and need direction and motivation to reach your career (or life) goals.

What a great class! I learned that illustration on procreate doesn’t need to be difficult. It was fun to watch this process and it helped me as a children’s book illustrator. Thank you!

Thank you, Mirka, for sharing your process and tips along the way. It's always inspiring and I learn so much from other artist's approach and behind-the-scenes. The digital brushes in the resources are also pretty neat:)
