“I took part of Grace's 3 week content creation course and I highly enjoyed it! She provided straightforward exercises and a manageable time-frame to finish them. This was helpful for me to start defining my personal brand and following through with my posts. I was able to move into longer form posts that did well with Grace's feedback! Grace is supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging! She's got a ton of practical tips that she's learned from experimenting with her own brand. The cohort size was also good, I got to meet other designers in different fields and backgrounds. I found it a great place to network.”
