Stationery Design

In our digital age, the value of beautifully crafted stationery has only grown, making this art form a valuable asset for serving individual clients' needs.

Your business can feel fun, easy, and profitable, all at the same time.
I'll show you how.

Stationery isn't just about pens and paper; it's a canvas for self-expression, a reflection of personality, and a tool for communication.

Can I rewatch the lessons? +

Yes!! You have a full year to watch the recordings as many times as you want.

Can a beginner take this course? +

Yes!! We created a very comprehensive course that both supports beginners and expands the skills of more experienced students.

What software do I need? +

While Laney does show us how she uses Adobe, this is not intended to be a computer class as much as it is a process class. There is one lesson that uses Adobe Photoshop and one section that uses Adobe Illustrator. You are welcome to follow her or apply the concepts she teaches but use a different graphic program of your preference. You do have a full year. So, our recommendation is to dive in, watch her process, and then determine if Adobe is the right software for you as well.

Can I ask questions? +

This is a pre-recorded class but questions/support are offered via the Student Artboard (our community forum).

Does this class have closed captioning? +

Yes! You can turn closed captions on while watching the videos: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, and Japanese. We are happy to accommodate enrolled students with other language requests.
