Please Note: This class was originally created for Skillshare.com. I understand that the Skillshare subscription model doesn’t work for everyone, so I’m now offering individual class purchases directly through my website. Because of this, you won’t be able to post projects, or receive feedback, but you will get full access to all class videos and content.

While I’m proud of the material, this class was originally recorded in 2016. It’s in 1080p, with mostly modern-looking screen captures, but please note that some of the audio and video quality do not reflect the higher standards I produce today. You can preview this for yourself in the class trailer on YouTube or sample the class through a provided video clip below.

Since the content is still highly valuable, I’m offering this class at a deeply discounted rate. I hope you’ll check it out!
