I took the Graphic Design Course because I wanted to refresh my skills, build confidence, and learn how to apply my skills in the real world.

I learned a lot about myself by the end of Section 2 (Design Process); the assignments taught me a lot about designing with intention, and through trial & error and a lot of practice, I actually learned a lot about how I can make the process easier and smoother for myself the next time around!

My favorite thing about the course has been the community and knowledge-sharing! No matter what course you're enrolled in, everyone loves to cheer each other on and share tools, resources, and tips that have brought them success. Getting direct feedback from the instructors has also been a huge highlight!

My advice would be to lean into the discord community (ask questions, join Super Productive Hours, reach out to people, join live workshops) — you'll get the most value by connecting with other creatives.

I feel so much more confident now. After years in the corporate world, I was feeling isolated and insecure about whether or not I was actually creative — this course helped me crush my imposter syndrome.
