ilovecreatives has brought so much value to my life. The Squarespace Design Course helped guide me during career uncertainty and confusion. The course unlocked a passion in me that I never knew existed. The lessons are digestible, the tips are tangible, and let’s not forget to mention how much fun Puno has while teaching you.
Read MoreILC is the modern Linkedin. I signed a client less than two weeks after my creative profile was published.
Read MoreThis whole course helped me a lot about understanding the basics of blender in the most structural content ever plus it was never boring cause you get cool visuals and water breaks (gotta keep the hydration 🌊) Alex break down the course bit by bit and you get cookies after each lessons hehe 🍪 In addition to this whole course, you get a package of cheat sheets and fun community to engage with and be inspired by each other's work! ⭐️
Read MoreThe job board connected me with a restaurant looking for a newsletter designer and that was the start of a year's long process to building my graphic design portfolio. Fast forward two years later, and now I'm living in Los Angeles, working at a successful design agency as a web & branding designer. This job board, the Do The Math Excel template, and the ILC community, truly was the catalyst to building my confidence as a designer.
Read MoreI took another Shopify course that was more about getting clients and how to position yourself and stuff like that. But I didn't get the feeling like I was able to tweak it and create stuff that was different and custom, like I'm used to on Squarespace. And when I took this course, it was like giving me the permission to play.
Read MoreI was looking at the Glowe Cookie Theme, and trying to be like, okay, how can I make this work for the case that I have? And kind of dismantling pieces in my mind of how it was going to chunk out and build it. And even just being able to think like that felt so much more natural than before when I would have just stared at it for like 20 minutes before having a panic attack.
Read MoreI feel like Megumi did a really good job showing both the structure of how this works, but then also, this is what it’s visually doing on the website. So they actually connect. For me as a learner, the logic and the language of the coding is so intimidating because I’m not sure what that’s supposed to look like on the other end. I feel like Megumi did a really good job connecting the two.
Read MoreI wanted to learn about design in a fun environment where I felt that the instructors' style matched my own and made me excited to try something new. It was a no brainer when I found ilovecreatives. Through the course I gained a real appreciation for process and design thinking, not just beautiful design. When you create thoughtful concept with design justified decisions, that's how you create something that not only looks good but also is well thought out and actually fulfills the brief.
Read MoreI learned so much about myself as a writer throughout this course – Tasha helped me hone in on my specific skills, the areas that I need to work on, and what I love about writing. CCC helped me develop my identity as a writer. I gained confidence and momentum working through the assignments and practice briefs. I loved all of the assignments – this was a great way to experiment, practice my skills and refine my work.
Read MoreBy presenting the course in sections from freelance to liquid and design basics, I was able to find my areas of interest (liquid/code) and apply these learnings to my current role as a PM for an e-commerce web design project.
Read MoreThis course is so much more practical and realistic compared to the free certificates or the boring big corporate courses. You get to see exactly how an expert analyzes data, builds strategy decks, implements retainers, workflows and templates so that it’s all less overwhelming. Plus, Ceilidh’s POV is from all sides: freelancer, small business owner, employee (both in-house and agency).
Read MoreIn short, I loved the course. It was humorous, colorful, and illustrative, just super engaging and interactive. I'm a bit of a gamer in my free time, so I was drawn to the gamified element, which worked for me while doing the course. It encouraged me to track my time. And it's really helping me with my pricing (Not just for web design, but for everything.)
Read MoreWhat I love the most about ilovecreatives is that I'm always guaranteed to get high-quality leads. Whenever I submit an ad, Jorge is always so kind and double checks everything. Gina is incredible with quick changes. This company is the best for creatives.
Read MoreI came into this course thinking that the visual aspect of creating websites would be what I loved most, but turns out I love coding. I've loved nerding out on and leaning into my developer side. I started the course with zero coding knowledge, and while there's still tons to learn, I feel equipped to develop custom websites on my own!
Read MoreI used ilovecreatives to find a motion graphics video creator. I found Stina Wahlen in Sweden and hired her to create two promo videos for my business' Instagram and Pinterest. She was great and we collaborated very well together. The videos she made for me have been collectively viewed more than 100k times. I have no doubt that we will work together on a 3rd vid someday. Thank you!
Read MoreThe course not only gave me technical skills for 3D but also really encouraged me to play around with an aesthetic that felt true to me. The level of detail that Alex condenses down in a fun teaching style blew my mind. He really helps you understand what you are doing, rather than mindlessly clicking buttons.
Read MoreThe targeted ad I received felt like it was talking directly to me. As Puno flew across my screen, in an instant I knew I was meant to sign-up. And while of course, the course is an investment, I really admired that this wasn't a $$$$$ course promising the world and more, but an actual community offering a personable experience. As a self-taught designer, I wanted to see inside what being led through a curriculum would be like. I'm glad I did.
Read MoreThis course has expanded my horizons of what's possible by so much!! Consistently putting in time for this class has had me grow my skillset so quickly. Puno & team made it so fun to learn and the amount of resources provided aside from the instructions is invaluable. Also being able to see others work in the Discord made me feel like I was on this journey with other people and that was so inspiring (and you get to see so many people's styles!!)
Read MoreMy favorite thing about the course is the community! Everyone is so kind and chill! I love the fact I can still earn cookies and receive feedback on any work. I have founded a creative studio that specializes in Squarespace Web Design! I've also made some cool internet and IRL friends from the course.
Read MoreMy favorite part of the course was learning a couple new tools I didn't know before that I now use all the time, along with getting 1-1 feedback multiple times that has transformed my portfolio! I also love the foundry recommendations and the mock ups... I use those all the time. I now feel pretty good about my portfolio both from my projects and the layout of the entire portfolio. I'm not embarrassed to send it!
