I'm all in. I want to take as many classes as I can to have a full portfolio by the end of a 6 or 12 month period. I am available to spend a short amount of time in person at the residency center in TN and am looking for a longer term coaching relationship instead of formal schooling.

It is designed for the serious student who is looking for mentorship and a comprehensive design curriculum instead of attending a bachelor, masters or certificate program.
