SUCCESS STORIES
December Smith,

I never fully understood what a tech pack [was] and what specifically to include.

This course goes over each page and defines what each item is on each page. I feel more comfortable to be able to create my own for another company or freelancing.
Miriam C., Designer
Hands down, the best course to learn CLO3d in a matter of days . . . You will be amazed how fast you will be drafting patterns both 2D and 3D.
. . . If you are a beginner or work in the industry, this course will most definitely level up your digital pattern making skills.
Nicole Markowitz, Designer
I first met Mikelle back in 2018 when I signed up for her “Illustrator Bootcamp for Fashion: Level 1” class. She was so friendly and engaging and made everybody feel comfortable in their skill level right away.
​
I took the Level 2 class about 6 months later and was equally as impressed.
I can’t wait to take another class with Mikelle and 383 Design Studio!
