Why We Made This Course
We believe design and creativity should feel accessible, fun, and empowering — not overwhelming or gatekept by complicated tools or techy language!

At its heart, this is about confidence, creativity, and connection. You don’t need to be “techy” to be a maker. You just need a place to start — and that’s exactly what this course gives you.
