Make it in Design closing FAQs

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, and invite you to celebrate with us in our huge closing down sale (80% off everything!)

 


 

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.

ABOUT THE CLOSURE:

 

Why is Make it in Design closing?

After thirteen wonderful years our co-founders have mutually decided to focus their attention elsewhere and close Make It In Design on a high. Rachael will continue to design, mentor 1:1 clients and teach in person, and Beth will focus on supporting her growing writing community, mentoring first-time authors and writing books.

 

Will Make It In Design be sold to someone else?

No, we are not selling Make It In Design. We are closing it for good. (So be sure to get yourself a bargain in our Grand Closing Down Sale before everything is gone!)

 

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. (Be sure to get yourself a bargain in our Grand Closing Down Sale before everything is gone!)
