“The amount of information provided in this course was amazing! I have so much valuable resource material that I can always refer to, along with 3 months access to WGSN! Priceless!

“It has been a colourful journey with so much information and exposure to the world of pattern. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Now I can go back and use all the guidelines to set up my own business step by step. Most of all I can visualise my products  in the shops and know so much better what I want to achieve.. .it was a very constructive course”

“Marc Jacobs once said “I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect – they are much more interesting”

The make it in design course is making it possible for this to become my reality. It has given me confidence to soar to new heights that I hadn’t even dreamed possible. The support from not only the Make it in design team but also the really wonderful and talented designers on the Facebook group is simply inspiring”.

“Since doing the ABSPD course, I have gained so much more confidence as a designer, not only from the wealth of information that allows you to work towards your goals, instead of just dreaming about them, but also from the amazing online support from the group. This really wasn’t something I had expected. The whole thing is a real game changer”.
