I was looking for an interior designer to join my multidisciplinary design firm and posted an ad with ilovecreatives. The candidates that found me through ilovecreatives were all really creative with diverse backgrounds which I loved seeing. I ended up hiring someone who saw my posting on ilovecreatives and I couldn't be happier with the fit. Thank you for helping me find such a wonderful person to join my team!

I joined a Super Productive Time session to give me no excuse to continue working on website 3.2 in the Squarespace Design Course after a long hiatus.
I got about half of the website done during the time period, all while working alongside other creatives and Super Productive People.
I really enjoyed the course format — from video tutorials, step-by-step guides to my little astro person (so cute!). This course not only teaches you design, and introduces you to some coding, but also teaches you how to research, investigate, and problem-solve on your own which is a crucial skill to being a freelancer or working solo.

I’m a graphic designer and I’ve been using Squarespace before this course, but I often felt stuck or my sites looked too much like the templates; in the end, they weren’t what I envision them to be. Then I decided to take this course and I’M SO GLAD I did it! I’ve learned SO MUCH and I feel much more confident about using Squarespace now.

In Level 1, you show us perfectly well the basics and how to search in the code and I really like the detective side of it. 🕵🏻♀️ Squarespace is not enough known in France and that's a shame but thanks to ILC, I feel prepared and motivated to continue my reconversion as a Squarespace Designer. 🙂 Thank you again Puno and thank you to the entire amazing team ✨❤️

At my last agency, I was in a team of 8 creatives but only a few were actually designers. In the Squarespace Design Course, it was so nice to be with other designers in a non-competitive environment. Everyone was empathetic and helpful, and literally the world’s nicest people! Also, being able to ask people questions about code can save you hours of research time.

I've come such a long way personally. I was so afraid of Squarespace and of web design. Now I want to offer this, because I know a lot of people like me who are graphic designers or have some type of design background but don't know anything about the web or how to manipulate Squarespace.
