My advice is to just do it. We're always in our heads self-sabotaging our own happiness. Do what you want.
My passion for creating was re-ignited. I took graphic design in college and wish I would have switched over to this major or had more opportunities to learn. Although I am learning to do this for fun I do hope one day I can gain enough tools under my tool belt and leave my 9-5 and pursue something I am passionate about. The thing I’m enjoying most is the way things are broken down for us. It’s easy/fun and easy to digest. ---I loved learning keyboard shortcuts.

The Squarespace Design Course was probably the most fun I have ever had learning. The overall design of the course was pretty to look at, Puno is a hilarious, ultra-engaging educator and the online community made it feel like I was actually sitting in a classroom with other students. - My favorite thing about graduating from the Squarespace course was feeling like I added an extra (important, moolah making) tool to my tool belt; and like I had a whole second brain filled with knowledge on design and coding.

The graphic design course that ilovecreatives has built serves not only as a precursor training for soon-to-be designers, but also as a refresher to bring creative teams closer. We look at this course now as couples therapy for creative directors and their designers — a fun, but educational course to get you both communicating in a healthier way 🫶

Very grateful that ilovecreatives put this course out into the world because it's allowed me to tap into an industry I would have had no clue where to start with to get to the next level. Now it’s time to start creating.

My favorite part was the community in this course. I didn't expect it because it doesn't often happen online. Sometimes it's hard to go through these creative processes on your own and can be quite a solitary experience.
Rachel and Puno held such a good space and created such a wonderful environment that was really comfortable.

This is 100% the most enjoyable course I’ve ever taken. I usually lose interest quickly in self-paced courses, but surprised myself by staying on track because the content was engaging and I was excited to learn more. I was a total web design newbie when I started and its crazy to think what I was able to create by the end of the course. I also loved watching Puno’s feedback videos on other student’s projects and previous Office Hours; doing that itself taught me so much on how to analyze design. The Discord community is very supportive in case you need any help and its great to connect with other students and creatives. If you are on the fence about taking this course I would highly recommend it, its worth every penny!

I literally became obsessed with Blender thanks to this course and the fact that Alex was able to break concepts down to be easily digestible for a true beginner. I kept testing my limits through trial and error every single day and whenever I had any questions, Alex made sure to clarify everything for me and knew how to solve any single issue I was facing.
I'm finally able to navigate Blender comfortably on my own and apply all the concepts that I've learned to create new designs in less than 2 months from first starting the course. I'm also able to follow other tutorials with much more ease. If you're someone who loves testing their potential, learning, and experimenting with different design tools and techniques but lacks the structure and discipline to fully learn on your own, I highly recommend investing in this course since it's catered for creatives like us.

Within a month of taking the course, I already created 3+ websites which helped me become a better and faster designer. The assignments are very intentional. Puno & the team really encourages you to think outside the box and put on your creative/troubleshooting hat! Also, the community in Discord is always there for you whether you have questions or have a low-key breakdown.

This video course brought me back to the joy of authenticity. Though I went in thinking I would learn about how to make an awesome video (which I did), it was a very personal journey of understanding my story, my values, and what I wanted to bring into this world.
My advice for someone thinking about taking the course is you'll get as much out of the course as you put into it. Don't be afraid to fail, and just create something! The more feedback you get and the more you iterate on your creative process, the stronger of a video creator you will be.

My favorite thing about the course is the community! All the TAs and other students are the most awesome people and everyone has each other’s backs! A truly motivational group of amazing creatives I couldn’t recommend the Graphic Design Course enough! Whether you’re experienced or a beginner, this is suited for everyone.

I took the Creative Copywriters Course to help me get better at copywriting for my new position on the marketing team. I'm still taking it--but I love that it's asynchronous because I'm super busy.
My advice for someone thinking about taking the course is do it--it feels nice to gain skills alongside your day to day workflow.

Love love love the video format, working at your own pace, and help on the community. I'm only on the first section, but I really am excited again about creating websites, for myself and others.
The price tag might seem a bit scary, but once you get your course work and you see all the time and effort, as well as the help you get, it is such a good value.

My favorite thing about this course is PUNO and the funny sounds she make lolol and of course the material is very helpful and fun to learn! So far, I feel more put together and I see myself looking forward to investing time each day to learn, which I didn’t see myself really doing in college.

The Lifestyle Planning Workshop was great! People were super engaged, and Puno shared some really valuable tips to nudge your professional and personal life towards your true calling. More than a rigid roadmap to follow, we were suggested a simple set of questions to keep asking ourselves on a regular basis. Instead of sticking to a rigid plan, Puno suggested building this habit of poking at our day-to-day, so that there is space for iteration and course correction at all times. Good stuff!

I’ve landed multiple contracted jobs – creative, marketing, design. I’ve been using the job board since 2019 when Puno launched her Squarespace Design Course! That’s actually what put my foot into the door with most of the employers. Anytime anyone asks me where to look for jobs, I ALWAYS recommend the ilc job board. Like no joke! Such a helpful tool for creatives.

This class was really the wake-up that I needed to fully feel confident in my writing skills. Going into the class you don't fully have an understanding of what could come out of it, but I never knew I would come out of it with such a sense of clarity + independence. I truly enjoyed everything I learned through Tasha's lens, she's truly 1/1! I would recommend this course for anyone looking to test their writing skills again and just imagine.

Taking the VCC course was one of the best decisions I've made this year. If you are someone who feels the thirst to create, if you've ever felt the urge to express yourself through art, and if you've ever felt SO inspired with that one amazing video of your favorite YouTuber and never knew what to do about the burst of ideas, you are exactly at the right place.

I was unable to establish any sort of friendships in a very lonely period (postpartum!!!) of my life, so this course was literally a life buoy thrown at me when I needed it most. The weekly calls gave me a structure to DEMAND time for and from myself. Verbally riffing off ideas with other people gave me such a creative high that would carry through the week.
