Before you enroll
Questions
When does enrollment open?
Both courses are in production. Join a course waitlist and you'll get an email the moment enrollment opens.
Do I need experience?
No. Each course starts from the fundamentals and builds toward a finished project, so beginners can follow along and experienced creators can skip ahead.
What software do I need?
The design course uses Figma, and its free plan is enough. The production course is taught in Ableton Live 12 Suite; Ableton's free trial works for getting started.
Is it live or self-paced?
Self-paced. Watch the video lessons on your own schedule and work through the project files at your own speed.
