"Hands down the best course to learn CLO-3D in just a matter of days. The video lessons are short, detailed, and easy to follow along with. You start with the foundation of the software and build up learning how to add trims, fabrics, customizing avatars and so much more. I really enjoyed having a chance to practice each lesson and submit it for feedback as well as the quick responses to any questions I had. If you are a beginner or work in the industry this course will most definitely level up your digital patterning making skills..."
"Mikelle is a born teacher with Illustrator. I'm so glad I took this course as I came away with a much better understanding of Illustrator and with a really solid foundation as well. I love that I can find additional info from her youtube channel which feels is such a plus."
"I know what I want to do, I know what I can do and this course was the missing link for me. There is a ton of information out there about how to start a fashion business or brand, ect. but who knew there is so much middle ground. I now have a sense of direction and Mikelle is very helpful whenever I have felt "lost" - When I ask her a question, on youtube or by phone, she has answers and explanations. This is not a course you buy and never hear from your instructor. I am glad to be starting here."
