Why I Created This: I was that person.
Maybe you know the feeling. You start a small business, maybe a sticker shop, an Etsy store, a digital product line, and you have a vision.
You can almost see what it should look like. The vibe. The energy. The thing that would make people stop scrolling and feel something.
But when you sit down to actually build it, every product comes out looking like a different brand. The colors don't match. The styles clash.
Some pieces look professional, others look like a first draft. You start wondering what you're missing.
👉 That was me for years.
My Story. My Journey.
What I tried
I bought the prompt packs. Subscribed to the courses. Downloaded the templates. Joined the Facebook groups, watched the YouTube tutorials, read the Pinterest tips, bookmarked Etsy shops I admired.
I ended up with a folder full of files I never used and a growing sense that I was missing something obvious.
The truth is, I wasn't missing anything obvious. I was missing a system. A way of building a brand that didn't rely on me already being a designer, a strategist, or an AI prompt engineer.
When AI image tools became accessible, I thought that was the answer. Type a prompt, get a sticker, done. But random prompts gave random results. My shop started to look like five different brands sharing one storefront. The tools were powerful, but without structure underneath, they made the cohesion problem worse.
So I started building something for myself.
Why I created The Vessel Method.
What I'm really teaching is how to create a brand that feels like you. Recognizable. Intentional. Yours.
The method is built around a simple idea. Start with one consistent visual structure, a vessel, which can be anything. A mason jar. A teacup. An hourglass. A Wall Print. A Sticker. A state letter. A hiking boot. Then change what lives inside it. Every product you make after that shares the same visual DNA.
That's how brand cohesion actually works. Once I had that structure, everything got easier. My PiggyPrint collections went from feeling scattered to feeling intentional. New products that used to take an afternoon started taking five minutes. For the first time, I could look at my work and think, this feels like me.
So I built my own method, named it, and trademarked it. The Vessel Method™ is mine, and the whole point is to help you build something that's just as unmistakably yours.
👉That's what I want for you.
Who this is for?
You're a maker. An Etsy seller. A sticker shop owner. A digital product creator. A small business owner who wants to build something real.
You don't need to be a designer. You don't need to be an AI expert. You just need a system that respects your time and gives you a clear path from blank page to finished brand.
👉 That's what The Vessel Method™ is.
What I Make
I run PiggyPrint Stickers, a curated vinyl sticker and magnet brand sold on Shopify and Faire. It's where The Vessel Method gets tested every day.
PiggyPrint is also why I teach this from inside the work, not above it. I'm a working maker with my own shop, my own retail customers, and my own deadlines.
Everything I share has been used by me, on my real products, in my real business.
Before and After Results.
What I believe about brands
A few things I hold pretty firmly.
People aren't tired of creators. They're tired of copy. The makers whose work resonates aren't always the ones with the biggest ad budgets. They're the ones whose work feels like a real person made it.
You don't need to become someone else to build something successful. The brand you're trying to build is probably already inside you. The work isn't inventing it. The work is surfacing it and giving it a shape it can live in.
The best tools are the ones you actually use. I'd rather give you a system you'll set up in 20 minutes and use forever. Simplicity is a feature, not a compromise.
Your story is your edge. A real human behind every product, with a real reason for making it, matters more than people realize.
Where to Start
If you've made it this far, you're probably wondering what to do next.
If you want to learn the system yourself, start with the Starter Kit ($67). It's the full method, delivered.
If you'd rather talk it through with a real person first, book a 1:1 Help Call ($147) and we'll figure it out together.
I want you to walk away feeling capable of building something you're genuinely proud of.
One Last Thing
Everything I learned about building cohesive, recognizable designs is inside the Starter Kit. The full method. No upsell to unlock the real secret, because there isn't one. The method is the method.
If something I made helps you build something you love, that's the whole point.
Welcome.

Still have Questions?
The Vessel Method is a brand identity system for makers. It's a structured way to use AI image tools (like Midjourney, Freepik, or Adobe Firefly) to create cohesive product visuals that actually feel like your brand — instead of looking like every other AI-generated design online.
It's not a prompt pack. It's not a course. It's a complete system you set up once and use forever.
Who is this for?
The Vessel Method was built for:
- Etsy sellers and sticker shops
- Digital product creators
- Small business owners building their visual brand
- Makers who want to use AI without losing their identity in the process
- Beginners who don't know where to start with brand design
If you've ever bought a prompt pack and thought "now what?" — this is for you.
- People who want photorealistic lifestyle photography (that's not what AI prompts are best for)
- Big brands with in-house design teams (you don't need this)
- Anyone looking for a quick-fix Instagram filter or a one-click solution
- Designers already running a fully-built brand system
No. If you can copy and paste, you can use The Vessel Method. The whole point is that you don't have to learn design theory or prompt engineering — the system handles that for you.
The Vessel Method works for anything illustrative, stylized, or design-driven — stickers, magnets, art prints, packaging, t-shirt designs, candle labels, mugs, greeting cards, digital products.
It's not built for photorealistic product photography. If you're trying to shoot lifestyle photos of your products, this isn't the right system. If you're trying to build a cohesive visual brand for what you create, it absolutely is.
