SGD is needed right now.

Over the past four years, we tested our class style, pacing, content, and more to a virtual global audience. We’d like to share just a few of the many responses we’ve received expressing the desire and excitement for what SGD has to offer to the design-curious like you.

It seems what you are doing with your creative power is helping others in need. This is very wonderful and the design community needs more of this. 🙌 Thanks for designing that way!

“Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, for someone like me trying to set up a business with no money it’s such a valuable resource.”

“On a personal note, thank you for making the world a better place by teaching better design! :)”

“Monique, this was beyond amazing. You shared the basics in a super advanced way. Entertaining, professional, magical.”

“I have a background in UI design and I STILL LEARNED A BUNCH OF STUFF!!!!”

“Monique provided clear, concise steps to make understanding graphic design approachable.”

“Good, basic information for those of us who know little or nothing about graphic design”

“Learned so much in a short period of time!”

“I also think flexibility is a HUGE aspect that is super valuable, not everyone may have a schedule that fits the traditional university schedule of classes, and I think something like this will make learning design more accessible!”

“I see a lot of value in this design school for so many reasons, some of the main reasons are that it allows all people who might not have a traditional design background to not only learn about design but build a community that can become a support group to share ideas and challenges with!”

“Overall, I think although there are free resources like Youtube, it can become extremely overwhelming and difficult to pinpoint where to start and can feel impersonal. Whereas this design school is a straightforward and a communicative process of learning vs searching for a youtube video, and then looking through 10 other videos until you find one that helps you LOL. Having a real person/community help guide you through learning design, and in this case, especially with something specific like design for small businesses or employers, can make learning a lot less overwhelming and accessible. I am SO excited to see this come together and I'd love to help out in any way I can!! I can't wait for people to experience this and learn design in a safe and nurturing environment all while building community!”
