Emil's Experience
“There is so much value in this course, from learning about the climate crisis, and material choices, to running a green studio and working with clients. The community around the course has been great and I feel really happy I signed up. Taking the course transformed this autumn into something positive.”
Sara's Experience
“This course isn’t just about green graphic design but really helped me to understand how to make better decisions not just as a designer, but as a person. So much research and care went into this course that it would take years to learn everything on your own. Overall I just learned so much and I see myself going back to this again and again. Again, thank you for this wonderful course and for making it so accessible!”
Nadia's Experience
“This course has given me new hope and clarity on the direction I’m taking my business. While a lot of the subject matter is downright depressing, I’m filled with so much joy being able to think critically about them and have thoughtful conversations with designers who also give a shit."
