“…Thank you so much for making available such a great Online Footwear Design Course. You are such a great teacher… I definitely got more than my money’s worth. While doing this course, I’ve learnt more than shoe design. I’ve learnt more about myself, like being less afraid to make mistakes and taking more chances on being creative. So, I thank you for that. STYLE ARCHITECTS, YOU ROCK!!!…“
