Who it's for
Bridge the gap between
studio and screen.
Textile students
Build CAD intuition that complements what you already know about cloth.
Aspiring designers
Develop a workflow that mirrors how studios actually plan and produce.
Self-taught learners
Replace YouTube fragments with a structured 3-day system.
Portfolio builders
Walk away with finished design developments — not just exercises.
Curriculum
Three days, woven together.
Each day builds on the previous — from understanding the textile ecosystem to shipping a small, real portfolio.

The approach
We don't teach buttons. We teach thinking.
Most CAD courses drown you in menus. This bootcamp starts with how a textile designer plans, classifies and decides — then maps each decision onto CAD tools. You leave knowing why you click what you click.
- ✦Small group, limited seatsPersonal feedback on every development.
- ✦Hands-on by Day 1No long lectures. You make as you learn.
- ✦Industry framingWhat studios expect — and how to present it.
