Welcome! I’m happy to offer 2 scholarship positions with full and free access to the entire syllabus. (Applications due by 6/7)
(PS: To join in on the fun you don’t have to eat design for breakfast, but it certainly helps if you have snacked on it before.)
camper Life
We’re here to have a good time and learn more about the world of digital design in a high-spirited and supportive environment (and don’t mind occasionally rolling up our sleeves and making a mess to get there!)
We Care About You 🥺
the design camp commandments
design with empathy & respect
We bring buckets of both to the table.
COLLABORATION IS QUEEN.
We love listening to and learning from other people’s perspectives.
A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL CANOES.
When our community succeeds, we succeed, too.
ALWAYS BE LEARNING.
In the best possible way, a designer’s job is never done. We’re always looking to level up, burrow down, and infinitely improve our skills.

“Camp very literally launched my career in brand design...after DSC, I had every tool I needed to start freelancing — and feel CONFIDENT to do it. I would tell anyone on the fence: DO IT. This was the very first investment I made for my business, and I got everything I was needing AND MORE.”

“Compared to other courses I've taken, I feel Alyssa truly went above and beyond to connect with each camper. Plus, she gave such valuable advice and tips on brand design that will stick with me throughout my design career, considering I didn't go to school for design.”

Do we get coaching calls included?
You bet! You’ll get a link that allows you to schedule free, unlimited calls during camp on any topic under the sun… and then some.
How much time do I have to access the lessons?
A whole year, baby! You’ll have access to the pre-recorded and recorded calls as well as a tasty all-access pass to our campsite, which will have all the course materials and freebies for you to enjoy.
What happens after I enroll?
Once you’re all safe and soundly signed up, you’ll receive 4 magical things in your inbox:

Do I need design experience for this?
Nope! I’ll be covering everything you need to know from software to terminology to design concepts and more. I gotchu!
How much time do I need to dedicate to this?
Good things take a little time, but I suggest dedicating at least 8hrs a week to get the most out of camp! Each module has multiple lessons and optional homework assignments, and I highly recommend taking your time and having fun with them! Each week there are also group calls, co-working sessions, and freebie workshops on any topic. Make sure you save some time up your sleeve for that.
Do you provide any guarantees or refunds?
Real talk, let’s do it! Unfortunately, I don’t offer any guarantees or refunds because I’m not promising any sort of monetary gains! The course is all about making you feel more confident in your skills and not about making $$ or getting an income increase (although that will probably happen). Therefore, I can’t guarantee anything except that I’ll give 110% of my skills, support, and care (and that you’ll have a really great time!) If you’re unhappy with anything, my virtual door is always open to working out a way to fix it.
Will you be teaching business & admin topics?
The course curriculum doesn’t currently include it, but you’ll get access to 7 of my workshops that include advice about CRMs, admin setup, pricing, and more! Also, every week I’ll host a live workshop on the freebie topic of your choice, and so you can vote for topics that would help you most!
Can I purchase the web add-on after we start?
Absolutely! You have until August 20th to sign up for the Web part of camp! Please note, the Early Bird deal won’t apply after June 22nd, though.
Hfdandle live sessions for other timezones?
In your onboarding form, I’ll ask you for your availability and group cohorts basedffdsafsets the most out of camp. There will be live calls available for every cohort and everything will be recorded and available for you to watch!

In your onboarding form, I’ll ask you for your availability and group cohorts based on time zones! I’m dedicated to making sure everyone gets the same experience, which means I’m willing to stay up late or get up early so that every camper and cabin gets the most out of camp. There will be live calls available for every cohort and everything will be recorded and available for you to watch!
