I took the Squarespace Design Course! I wanted to take the course because I was well acquainted in graphic design but I was really slated into specifically Social Media Collateral. I wanted to present my work well on squarespace and learn how to code my own website, so I could offer Squarespace Web Design and take my design skills to the next level!

This course really stretched me. When I signed up, I thought "hey! this is going to be a breeze " - I even took a week off of work to go through it. But quickly I found out this was going to be a steep learning curve for me! I was surprised very quickly on how much there was to learn and pick up through the resource centre and the TAs. I learnt how to bring wireframes to life, which was so fun!

I think my favourite thing was the access to the TA's in the discord and understanding the backend freelance processes. All of that information is so insanely helpful!

I would advice anyone who is about to take the course to really make it a priority. It's not a light load - and especially if you want to create something you're proud of! Also, make sure to ask for help. The communities amazing!
