FOUNDATION - DESIGN COURSE

In 4 sessions, go from design idea to factory-ready spec sheet — with a portfolio piece and your own AI assistant to keep you moving forward. Starting with the Life Project principle of committing fully to one brand and one consumer, you will move through brand research, concept development, and technical drawing. You will conclude the course with a factory-ready spec sheet and a portfolio-ready pitch. All four sessions are 1-on-1, online and outcome-led.
