I took the Shopify Course! I started my journey with web design in the past couple of years, and I knew that I wanted to create fun, bold, exciting websites for female founders. I started designing on Showit (which I still love), but when I thought about brands I'd love to work with, a LOT of them were e-commerce. And when it comes to ecomm, Shopify is obvi the only option. I was deeply intimidated by Shopify, and I knew I would need to invest in a great course if I wanted to actually feel confident using the platform. I've been a fan of ilovecreatives forever, so as soon as the Shopify course was announced, it was a no brainer.

I often joke that I should have always known I would be a web designer because of the INTENSE love (some may say obsession) I had for coding my MySpace profile in middle school. It was a time in my life where I can specifically remember getting lost in the enjoyment of it, and not noticing that literal hours had gone by. Even though my coding experience has been minimal since those glorious 2007 nights on my pink Dell laptop, I still found a lot of that same enjoyment in this course. Once we got into learning Liquid and creating our own blocks and sections, I felt that same "omg IIIII made that!?" feeling. Even though I still have a lot to practice and improve, this course reminded me of the aspects of coding that I really enjoy and how fun it is to be a lifelong learner.

My favorite thing about the course is definitely learning from Megumi! They are the perfect person to lead this course, and a phenomenal educator! As a Type A girly, the organization of this course also tickled my brain. I love how each section was organized, and how levels were broken into smaller lessons. Perfect for my attention span, and helped me stay on track without getting overwhelmed! And as I have been working on Shopify projects, it makes it SO easy to go back and reference information when I have questions. And the Notion workbook? *chef's kiss*

This is a fantastic course that is well worth the investment. It is far and away the most professional, thorough, and helpful course that I've taken. The quality of ilovecreatives is truly unmatched. Aside from how much I learned, I was routinely just blown away at how impressive the presentation is. This was more put together than some of my college courses!!! And it sure didn't cost as much as those!! Megumi is an incredible educator. They are extremely talented and knowledgeable, and a resource that you will feel insanely lucky to have in your corner. And on top of that, they are entertaining and a lovely, calming presence-- exactly the vibe you want when learning a tricky new platform! I had not done much with code in YEARS, and I would consider myself a beginner. I wished I'd had a bit more coding knowledge coming into this course, but I still felt like I was able to follow along in the course without getting lost. And it has helped me gain a better frame of reference for the areas that I need additional practice. So, even if you are a beginner, I HIGHLY recommend this course! I give it a million stars.
