“The course helped me in so many ways. First of all it helped me to find my signature style, which I didn’t think I had :) Also, the course gave me lots of inspiration and boosted my confidence in a way I never thought it would. Being part of a community with such talented people and being able to get an individual review on my portfolio was really valuable.
Thank you so much for this amazing course. I’m very happy now for being able to pursue my dream career.”

“The most powerful element of the course that has helped me improve myself as a Designer is realizing and finding out my own style. There’s a lot of designs out there and it can be overwhelming to try to compete and even get a foot in the door in the Surface Pattern Design field, but this course has a lot of information to guide a beginner like me and has taught me to try different techniques without forgetting the skills that I already have.”

“What an amazing journey this has been through a fantastic course that really pushes you creatively and expands your way of looking at how and why you design. I have been exposed to an abundance of new techniques, methodology and ideas that I know I will be exploring for a long time to come. It has opened my eyes to new possibilities and given me the confidence to plan for an exciting future.”

The Ultimate Portfolio Builder could not have been better for me. I am building my portfolio and finding my style and this course pushed my limits, my creativity, and my ability to juggle multiple design projects at once. The practical experience in addition to the live reviews and the amazing community of support, makes this course a must for any surface pattern designer looking to grow their portfolio – amazing!

“This course has been the final in all of the MIID Modules for me and has beautifully wrapped up and pushed everything I have learned. Without doubt exposure to live briefs from real clients and industry experts has forced me to dedicate time to building a strong and market relevant portfolio, ready to showcase when my website is ready. It’s also reiterated to me take my time, do my research and understand the audience I am designing for in order to really hone in on just one area of the market and do it well. After that, the world is mine to decorate.”
