MAKE IT IN DESIGN IS CLOSING DOWN – Thank you for thirteen amazing years!
After thirteen fantastic years, we have made the tough decision to close the doors of Make It In Design at the end of 2024. We know this will come as a shock to many of you, and we want you to know this is not a decision we have made lightly. We also want to take this opportunity to thank you for being part of this one-of-a-kind community.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
If you are currently on our courses:
All current purchased courses have access until December 31st, 2024, at which point they will no longer be accessible. We will continue to support all students until that date. Please note there will be no classroom access extensions under any circumstances, and the team will not be able to provide individual support beyond the end of 2024, so we recommend downloading all the classroom content before December.

All members have been asked to change to a monthly subscription by email – if you have not received this please email [email protected]. In November you will be contacted about getting the month of December for FREE as a token of our gratitude for your understanding.

All courses will have access until December 31st, 2024, at which point all classrooms will close. Most classroom content is downloadable so please be sure to download anything you need before then.

Will Make it in Design return at some point?
No, we have no intention of resurrecting Make It In Design at any point. We have loved the past thirteen years, but we are closing the curtains on this particular chapter. Thank you to all our amazing students for this wonderful adventure.
