I’ve had interest in Graphics/Product Design but never had the time to enroll for the course. Then I got it on a platter of gold organized by Design School. I am most grateful to Design School for making my dream come true. I make extra money for myself now from freelance gigs all thanks to my newly acquired skills.

Mercy Makagni Freelancer

I was a makeup artist before the COVID-19 outbreak, the Design School training was just a link shared with me on WhatsApp but a link turned life changer. I now work as a Product Manager at Stratapay and earning more than I was earning before and doing better in the tech sector.

Remilekun Wahab Product Designer

I was a freelance photographer after graduation. In my quest to secure a full time job, I saw the design school program on a telegram group. I was seriously looking for a new job role that resonates with my course of study( Marketing). Honestly, the Design school experience was what gave me an edge in getting this particular job. I now earn in hundreds of thousands through freelance design jobs and my full time engagement.

Kenneth Okeugo Freelancer

I joined the Design School in 2020 and was exposed to the world of freelancing. I can say I have earned more money working a few hours as a Copywriter and Designer. With the exposure I gained, my mindset has completely changed.

Olawale Awosika Designer/Freelancer

I was formerly into graphic design but not on an in depth level, but due to Design School Training, which a friend recommended and forwarded me the link, I was able to sharpen the skill and I now work as a graphic designer, heading the design team in the organisation I work with. I now earn from graphic design double of what I was earning monthly before design school training.

Raymond Nwachukwu Senior Designer

I am currently working as a Social Media Manager with Futuresoft and also the Head of Operations/HR at FCube Academy owned by one of the facilitators I met during Design School (both remote jobs). I am very grateful for the opportunity because it has been a game-changer for me in many ways and also connected me to amazing people.
