"Shillington has added immense value to my life. It’s given me an ever-growing community of my kind of people—goofy, creative, and kind. My course was a beacon of light, keeping me motivated to grow when leaving my previous career felt scary and overwhelming. I left my course seeing the world differently, applying design principles to almost everything (such as my fashion sense) and finding inspiration everywhere I looked. At the risk of sounding cringe, Shillington provides the heat and pressure that turn rocks into diamonds—elevating students’ graphic design skills and nurturing creativity to the point where we can make a living doing what we love. It doesn’t get better than that."
