The course has been running for nearly 18 months now, can you believe it!? It has been an amazing journey & we feel blessed to have worked with so many inspiring people. Our students really have joined us from all around the globe (over 30 countries!) They have gone to become world renowned designers; attracting prestigious licensing deals, securing freelance work, winning competitions & regularly becoming favourites with the press & industry peers.
Our alumni is truly astounding & we would like to thank every one of them for being so dedicated & rising to the challenge. The design industry can be described as competive at times but our ABSPD community are so supportive & encouraging towards one another, which is really great to see!
The surface pattern industry is booming right now so it really is a great time for our talented graduates & our fabulous ABSPD family.
You can read some our previous testimonials here & follow the buzz & student success stories over on our Facebook page.
I've been reflecting recently, as last week was the 5th Anniversary since leaving my full time job to pursue my own dreams. What an exciting roller coaster it has been! I feel so grateful! I never expected in a million years that I would have the honour of working on so many great projects. It goes to show that if you really put your mind to something & never give up the magic can really happen!
Below is a selection of images from my own design journey, I hope they inspire you to follow your own creative path.
