Early access · New mini course and brush set

The jewelry workflow I taught Piaget's designers, made effortless

Piaget makes watches that sell for over $100,000. Their Creative Director brought me in to train her design team to design faster in Procreate. My new mini course teaches you that same workflow, and my 92-brush set does the fiddly parts for you.

Only people on this list get the launch price and the mystery gift.

What you'll be able to make

By the end of the mini course you'll have finished earrings, a necklace and a statement piece of your own. The brushes keep working on everything you paint after that.

Luxury-house technique, without the hours

By hand, you draw every facet and every link, then forty pearls that all have to match. The Effortless Jewelry brushes take over that part, which is why even a first piece looks polished.

  1. Stamp the stonePick one of 27 gemstone cuts and tap it into place. The facets are already there, so you never draw them by hand.
  2. Pull the chainChains, pearl strands and bead strands follow your stroke, every link and pearl evenly spaced.
  3. Add the sparkleDiamond patterns and stone textures finish the surface, and the time you saved goes into the design itself.

“We loved the course because we learnt lots of techniques and ultra-fast renderings.”
Stéphanie Sivrière · Creative Director, Piaget

She brought me in to give her team faster ways to design. This is what she said when we finished.
