Alumni from the LIVE COHORT VERSION of this course

"This is by far, one of the best courses I've taken about combining business and design. I've spent a lot of time and money in so many courses and this one has it all, plus the amazing experience of Jacalin! She is one of the most intelligent, knowledgeable and approachable persons I know. Highly recommend the course!"

"Such a powerful course. I didn't even realise how much I needed this. This program will help you become a high performing strategic designer. Something that most design schools don't teach around the world. I know that well as I completed 3 design schools and no one taught these. "
