Why Adobe?

This (not-so secret) program is what EVERY PROFESSIONAL DESIGNER is using. All those beautiful imagery, branding designs and social media graphics you see? That’s all Adobe baby!

IS THIS YOU?

▼

You want the fun editing tools without the complication

You desperately want to create your OWN designs, but you are feeling so overwhelmed with ALL the tech!

You’ve been wanting to learn Photoshop and Illustrator for years but couldn't wrap your head around where to begin

You’re working Canva like a pro but it only gets you so far

You’ve been looking at other people, thinking how beautiful their designs are, wishing it was yours. Maybe you could have something like that for your own biz? Today would be nice

You lack the time to learn a new program, especially if you are fumbling through it yourself

You want to buy things from other designers but stop when you see the words ‘requires Adobe’ (boo!)

You want to get into Surface Design but lack the fundamentals of basic design

Don’t worry beginner, I got you!

See ya later non-profesh programs!

(we’re looking at you powerpoint, canva, and whatever the newest app is) 

Fun fact: I was a self-taught Photoshop and Illustrator user for TEN YEARS until I paid $9k to study Graphic Design and learn the “right way”.
As soon as I learnt the basics in a practical way, from professional designers, the whole trajectory of my career changed!

GRAB YOUR INSIDER PASS

I teach you everything I know…


Hey, I’m Cass. I've designed these beginner lessons to maximise your learning so you can grasp the basics . These lessons are from my extensive knowledge and 8+years experience as a Graphic Designer, Stationery Designer, Artist & Surface Pattern Designer. You can learn at your own pace and skill level because I’ve separated the bite-sized lessons into focused skill sets so that you can easily revisit when you need to. You don’t have to have any prior design skills or be good with techy techy to pick things up quickly with the way I teach!

And If you are considering surface pattern design and have NO IDEA where to start, then you are in the perfect place!

GET READY FOR ME TO OPEN YOUR EYES TO A WHOLE NEW CAREER. NOW THAT’S WORTH CELEBRATING!

 

“Suddenly everything just clicked”

After spending countless hours trying to figure things out myself and almost giving up Cass's beginner courses changed everything for me. The videos are so clear and easy to follow and after being so confused suddenly everything just ‘clicked’ - and now I’m working confidently in both programs daily. I constantly refer back to them whenever I forget how to do something or run into a problem and each time I seem to learn something new, I honestly couldn’t be without them!

“YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING SO CLEARLY AND THOROUGHLY”

The course is absolutely perfect for what I need and you explain everything so clearly and thoroughly. Thank you for creating something like this for creatives like me and I look forward to learning more! :)
- Leah

“A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN A PRACTICAL AND FUN MANNER”

Cass is an amazing teacher with an electric energy that is so inspiring and motivating and she has a way of clearly sharing her wealth of knowledge in a practical and fun manner.
- Sam

“I’M OBSESSED”

 

I finished the course with a new and positive mindset, new advanced skills (I’m obsessed!) Thank you!!
