Most beginners waste years trying to learn Illustrator the hard way, and this skips all of that.
Does this sound like you?
It took me years to realise the problem wasn’t me, it was how I was learning Illustrator.
I remember years ago, staring at my screen, completely lost. I’d spent hours reading articles and watching Illustrator tutorials but still couldn’t design what was in my head, let alone get it looking good. I kept jumping between tools, following random videos, hoping something would finally click — the process was painfully slow and incredibly frustrating.
Even when I finished something, I had no idea if it was actually any good, and to be honest it all felt like guesswork for a long time.
Well after years of trial and error, I've finally figured it out.
Illustrator isn’t difficult, it’s just overwhelming when you try to learn everything, and in the wrong order. But when you focus on the tools that actually matter, and learn how to use them properly, everything changes.
That’s why I created Illustrator First Class. It’s the course I wish I had on day one. So if you’re new to design or feeling stuck, this gives you the shortcut — a clear path, the right tools, and a way to start creating real pro-level work as fast as possible.
I spent years struggling so you don't have to!
