Linda Gao
Art Director, Warner Bros
I chose Shillington because it offered the exact type of classes I was looking for. At the time I wanted to find a program that taught the ins and outs of design without having to commit to a 4 year degree.
Caroline Adams Vulcano

Shillington made pursuing design a realistic option for me and one that I could fulfill while still making an income.
Oyinkan Karunwi
Designer, aseda
The biggest thing Shillington did for me was teach me about creative process and the discipline of design. I learnt that inspiration doesn’t happen accidentally.
Joseph Lebus
Design Lead, Porto Rocha
Shillington gave me the perfect technical foundation to get started and the structure itself felt very connected to the industry.
Lauren Danger Koste
Studio Manager, The Design Kids
You may not know it right away but once you graduate from Shillington you’re way more prepared for the design industry than you think.
Manon Prost
Freelance Graphic Designer
For someone that is about to start the course: Be curious and keep your eyes open. Design is everywhere around, try to analyse what you see to develop your own design critic.
Marc Igbinadolor
Brand Marketing, Guest In Residence
While studying at Shillington, I found that the design process we were learning mimicked processes I had already created/experienced in my other work.
Melissa McAuliffe
Designer, The Walt Disney Company
Go for it! You get so much out of your time at Shillington, not just a great portfolio and skillset but also friendships, connections and the confidence to pursue that graphic design role.
Majo Crespo
Founder, UNÁNIME
Feeling too young or too old? Calm down! I had classmates who were 18 y/o as well as 55 y/o. All fantastic designers.
Lauren Horner
Graphic Designer, HUNDREDWEIGHT
It allowed me to be qualified in just a year and came highly recommended by a UI designer I worked with who raved about his experience 10 years prior.
Sarah Galley
Freelance Graphic Designer
Since graduating from Shillington my life has completely changed!
Melody Yee
Designer, Baillie Lodges
It made every day of 13 weeks industry-relevant, practical and focused which was a totally different experience to my 4 years at university.
Maria Vazquez
Freelance Graphic Designer
I found a way to immerse myself, for a three month period, in a creative environment and learn everything I need to know to incorporate graphic design into my life.
Eman Abdallah
Graphic Designer, Wetheloft
It was tailored for my personality; being an extrovert who mostly learns by interacting with other people, having conversations about the subject matter and loves challenges
Liam Speranza
Art Director, THE CHARLES
I felt a great sense of community from my peers with the online course
Seyi Ogunlade
Freelance Graphic Designer
If you desire a comprehensive and fast-paced route into the graphic design world, then Shillington is definitely for you. Don’t let your fears and doubts stop you. Just do it!
Claire Grocot
Graphic Designer, Founded by Design
I was super nervous about retraining, starting from scratch as a grown-up is super anxiety-inducing, but if you’re passionate about design and driven to learn and grow you will have zero regrets.
Carl McBride
Full-time Teacher, Shillington
I had high expectations for the course, and it surpassed all of them! It’s intense, but you have all the tools and the support you need to come out at the end of it with a portfolio you can be proud of.
Darsh Seneviratne
Designer, Canva
It’s a great launching pad for a new career so make sure you’re willing to take that step.
Anuja Shukla
Sr Designer, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
I chose Shillington because design seemed like the most efficient skill I needed for my career, while not wasting too much time or money on another degree.
Mason El Hage
Designer, Uncommon Creative Studio
I understand that everyone’s situation is unique, but if you find yourself needing a change, following a passion or are even looking to upskill on existing knowledge, then I’d say go for it.
Alex Francis
Freelance Graphic Designer
Shillington taught me everything I needed to know to be a junior designer right off the bat and pushed my creative thinking to make something meaningful, not just pretty.
Meg Yonson
Director, Studio Maybe
Since studying at Shillington I’m able to work better with photographers, clients and other designers on creative briefs.

Having looked through dozens of alternatives I immediately recognised that Shillington just gets it.
