“For me, the strength of the Ultimate Portfolio Builder lay in the technical knowledge and community. The masterclasses opened up techniques that allowed me to see the limitless possibilities. The Community was a constant source of inspiration and feedback.

The Ultimate Portfolio Builder contains invaluable lessons and exercises which I’ll refer to again and again”.

“I have been with MIID since Summer School 2014, I have done every other module so UPB was my last and I decided to give it my all. Thanks to this course I have drawn things I didn’t know I was capable of, I have made patterns I never thought I would be able to create and I feel I have truly grown as a person as well as an artist. The portfolio review was the highlight of the course for me, it was the confidence boost that I needed, I know now for certain that I am on the right path. I can’t thank Rachael and the MIID team enough, you have truly changed my life”.

“The video review of my work by Khristian Howell was super helpful as she gave me positive feedback and some ideas of things I can tweak in my portfolio. Also, I appreciated the opportunity to work on the Live Briefs – it’s good practice thinking about the needs of the manufacturers and their customers”.

“The most powerful element of the course for me was the creative challenges we received each week. It pushed me beyond my comfort zone, which is essential to staying relevant and evolving as a designer. I really feel I wouldn’t have discovered some of the techniques I’m applying now to my work if I hadn’t gone through those exercises.

Thanks again for everything, I’m looking forward to my new venture in surface pattern design”.

“I loved the prompt cards and can see them coming out on a regular basis in future! Having feedback from Janine was wonderful: useful, constructive and inspiring – and I learned many useful pointers from the feedback given to other designers too”.
