Past Engagements
Guest Expert Training with Pattern Observer
Cinthia shared her wisdom with the Textile Design Lab in 2024. We enjoyed learning from her vibrant slide deck on topics from her book on strengthening one's artistic journey and process. She was very prepared, charismatic, and had thoughtful answers in the Q&A. We also interviewed Cinthia for the Pattern Observer blog, she certainly made the job easier with excellent correspondence and a compelling story. We highly recommend reading her book and hearing more about her experience. —Amanda Letscher, Pattern Observer
