“I recently took the Creative Strategy and the Business of Design in the summer of 2012. I found it to be a very valuable experience; it really expanded my understanding of the advertising industry and the many business considerations that go along with creative work. “
-Justine Dechaine, Junior Graphic Designer at Direct Focus Marketing
“I recently took Breakthrough Logo Design and Branding Success. I wanted to thank you so much for this mind blowing amazing class. It was a huge eye opener.” – Ali Al-Awadhi
“I recently took Breakthrough Logo Design and Branding Success. Thank you so much for putting this workshop together. It’s too easy as a designer to get lost in the ideas in your head and try to implement it all in one logo. You offer a very clear strategy for creating strong, successful logos. I can’t wait to use these steps in my next project.” – Dana Fournier
“Focusing on conceptualization and big ideas that can walk on multiple channels has always been my top interest as an art director. I recently took the Creative Strategy and the Business of Design course; and suddenly it all made sense!”
“Douglas is top notch and I also highly recommend this course for designers looking to gain a better grasp of who they are designing for within their organization. I would recommend the HOW Design University classes, and especially Douglas as an instructor.”

“The Creative Strategy and the Business of Design class was quite challenging. I’m now thinking harder and longer about all the aspects that make good creative great by understanding the business side better.”
“Shortly after this workshop, I attended a portfolio review and creatives there were impressed by the level of strategic thinking in my work. I was offered a job at an ad agency by the end of the day solely because they saw that I knew strategy.”
