★ DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE
One of the biggest purposes of this Academy is helping you understand the fundamentals so you can take what you learn and develop your own creative identity.
 
You are NOT enrolling to learn how to copy my personal design style.
 
Copying, recreating, tracing, or intentionally mimicking my work or another Academy student's work is strictly prohibited. Students who violate this expectation may be removed from the Academy.
I want you to leave this experience with a stronger understanding of design and the confidence to create work that feels like YOU.
