I know what it feels like to want to turn your art into your career..... and yet it feels like this big mystery.
- HOW do I start licensing my artwork?
- How do I sell products?
- Should I sell products? Or POD? Or Drop Ship?
- What are my options?
- Do I HAVE to do everything?
- Where should I put my focus?
- How do I get paid?
- Is it even possible to make a steady income from my creativity?
YES. It is possible.
That's why I created the Leverage Your Art Program.

Hello! I'm Stacie.
Are you ready to leverage your art into your dream career?
I've been exactly where you are: you are dreaming of having a career as an artist. I graduated with an art degree, but then became a coffee shop manager because I didn't know how to make money with my art.
I started selling my own artwork online. I realized that I could leverage my artwork by selling products wholesale, licensing my art, doing custom work, and creating book illustrations. The possibilities seemed endless!
Over the last 12 years, I've transformed my tiny illustration company Gingiber from a nursery print side hustle into a fully formed, multi revenue stream creative powerhouse.
I license my artwork to MAJOR retailers and companies, sell my own products in over 800 stores, and have an amazing online community who purchase my products directly from my on my own website.
I am here to teach you exactly how I did it, save you years of trial and error, and give you the advice and tips I wish someone had given me when I launched my business.
Come on! You are about to take the biggest step toward your dream career.

"Before Leverage, I was purely focusing on building my portfolio and trying to license by work. When I discovered Stacie and the idea of leveraging my art across multiple income streams, it ignited a fire in me. I instantly wanted to sign up to Leverage Your Art and learn all about it. A few months later I had an online shop, taken wholesale and consignment orders, had a stall at markets, was featured in a book, taught my first in person class, licensed my work and grew my business so much more than I ever dreamed of. I'm so thankful to Stacie for sharing not only her knowledge but her encouragement and support. I am so pumped with the direction my business is now taking."
Tiffany Wong
"I was first introduced to Stacie when I saw a Facebook Live interview she did on a Facebook group I am part of. I was instantly drawn to her kindness, fun personality and in awe of how much knowledge she had and her willingness to share that with us. When Leverage Your Art was announced I knew I had to take this opportunity to learn more from her. After trying to guide myself through the business of surface design and art licensing for a few years now, I realized that I needed more guidance and this course gave me that. I gained so much more knowledge and insight to this business from someone who has proven success. Thank you Stacie for being so kind, generous with your knowledge and real! I do believe this course is an investment for my business and I am eager and excited to implement what I have learned!"
Kris Ruff
"I took Leverage because my art licensing business had plateaued and I needed to figure out how to reach the next level. The course covered many different revenue streams (some of which I'd never thought of) and the guest speakers were top-notch, providing great insights into their specialties. At the end of each week, I'd write in my notes, "what makes sense for me right now" and put down my thoughts. I realized that what DIDN'T fit was as important as what DID, allowing me to narrow down a direction from all the possibilities. It's fun to go back and see how my perceptions changed throughout the course. A year later my revenue is up about 150% and I feel more confident and more hopeful about the direction my business is heading."
SUCCESS STORY:
"For the first time, I understood how I could share all of my interests and serve a bigger audience as my best, authentic self. Armed with pages of invaluable take-aways from our consultation, I’m on a path to my biggest dream! Thank you, Stacie!"
