Thereβs a bunk with your name on it
if youβreβ¦
A Design Newbie π£
Youβre totally new to design, but you know youβve got an eye. You havenβt used professional tools like Illustrator yet, but youβre excited to learn and want a step-by-step way to develop your skills from scratch (with feel-good, judgment-free support).
An Aspiring Designer π«
You want to learn how to design full brand identities without having to piece things together from a million YouTube tutorials. Youβre looking for a clear blueprint thatβll help you build the skills to finally call yourself a designer.
A Budding Brand Studio π±
Youβve done some freelance or part-time design work, and you know youβre capable, but full-time still feels out of reach. Youβre looking for a no-fluff structure, honest feedback on your work, and a confidence boost to help you close that gap and take the leap.
An Evolving Creative π
Youβve been in the design game for a while, and things are working, but something still feelsβ¦ off. Your workflow could use a glow-up, your design styleβs ready for a refresh, and you want to reconnect with your creativity while leveling up your systems and strategy.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR CAMP COUNSELOR
Hi, Iβm Alyssa!
βand Iβm not your regular camp counselor. Iβm a cool counselor! π
Iβm a self-taught designer turned freelancer turned studio owner and Iβm here to help you reach your design dreams without the pressure & fluff. I know what itβs like to try and piece together everything and itβs so hard to know what you donβt know! Thatβs why I created Camp: to remove the high barrier to entry to the branding world and create a supportive, gatekeeping-free zone for all. Hereβs some little bits about me:
Iβve been running ATNN Design for 5 years, and have been a brand designer for almost 7!
Iβm passionate about uplifting people from underprivileged backgrounds and making BIPOC, queer, and marginalized communities feel seen.
Iβm very anti-normative (aka I donβt want to tell you what to do); my teaching style is more like a counselor than a teacher or coach. Iβm here to hear your goals and struggles, and help you soar past them!
I love play, so the vibe of this course is work hard, play hard! I like to throw in little jokes and keep it light, while still giving you all the goodsβfluff free.
Iβm a 2nd gen Viet girl living it up in Brooklyn, NY! Iβm a matcha > coffee girl with a big love for books and Iβm so excited to become your camp friend!

Listen, I know what youβre thinking.
But this isnβt another passive design course youβll abandon by week two.
Maybe youβve taken design courses before that gave you videos, but no feedback, no support, and no idea what to do with what you just learned. But Camp is different, okay?? How? Letβs count the waysβ¦
(1)
1:1 Mentorship with Alyssa π€
Most courses give you a group Q&A session and call it support. Camp gives you three 1:1 mentorship calls that you schedule anytime, and Slack support so youβre never stuck. Ask anything. Get feedback. Youβre not doing this alone.
(2)
Fluff-Free Lessons π₯±
Youβll get short, structured lessons that teach you exactly what you need to know to start designing, not just theory youβll forget tomorrow. Each module includes a practice project and feedback from me, so youβre learning and improving every week.
(3)
Created by a Self-Taught Designer, for Self-Taught Designers π€
Camp isnβt based on what youβd learn in a fancy design school. Itβs based on what I actually used to build my own studio. So, if youβve ever felt like youβre behind because you didnβt take the βtraditionalβ path, this was made for you.
(4)
No Gatekeeping π«
Youβll never have to wonder βhow do real designers do this?β because Iβll show you everything. From pricing to presenting your work, Camp is all about transparency. Every resource, template, and tip I share is something I use in my own studio.
What Youβll Learn
The first half of the course is all about building your skillsβ learning how to use design tools, create full brand identities, and understand what makes great work stand out.
Then, weβll shift into full-on practice mode. Youβll be able to complete real-world projects (IRL briefs as I like to call them!), get optional feedback, and walk away with a portfolio thatβs ready to help you book clients.

Your QuestionsβAnswered
-
Do you offer payment plans, discounts, or scholarships?
Yes, no, and YES! π€
Payment Plans ππΌ (Learn More)
The course fee is split up into 4 monthly payments, the first payment due upon enrollment. I recommend using the BNPL options like AfterPay or Klarna.
DiscountsππΌ (Join Waitlist)
Stay signed up for the Camp Waitlist and make sure to follow me on IG (@atnndesign) because sometimes a sneaky discount pops up via email, stories, etc. π
-
Can international campers enroll?
Yes! Weβve had a large # of non-US participants in the past and would love to have you.
If you need to process another currency, you can let me know and I can send a Wise transfer link! For time zone differences, we can talk as a group about either
Making adjustments so the times are in the middle for everyone
Making a 2nd live call time if thereβs enough interest/need
-
Do I need design experience for this?
Nope! Module will cover everything you need to know from scratch including design theory and software.
Camp was created to meet everyone where theyβre at and then join everyone together, so whether youβre past the basics or just beginning, youβll be accommodated!
Weβve had many past campers with zero design background when they enrolled and have all expressed their comfort level with the concept & tools after the initial module!
-
Do you provide any guarantees or refunds?
Simply, no. β€οΈ Due to the digital nature of the course and the work that goes into it, once you enroll there is a STRICT no refund policy.
Even if you donβt end up using any of the resources, joining any calls, or watching any content, the product was still provided to you and therefore must be paid! If you order $1000 worth of food and decide not to eat it, you wouldnβt expect the restaurant to not charge!
As for guarantees, there is no guaranteed outcome or income. It would be wrong to claim otherwise! If you use the Camp resources and engage with the course in full, youβre bound to get the results youβre looking for! But I wont lie and guarantee anything, though I wish I could promise the world!
-
What's the difference between the live Summer Camp & Camp Evergreen?
You get all the same lessons & content, but the main difference is the live interactivity!
With the live Summer Camp, you get:
Β· Unlimited Mentorship Calls
Β· Live Feedback on Homework
Β· Weekly Live Workshops
Β· Group Calls & Coworking Sessions
Β· IRL Briefs Live Together
With Camp Evergreen, you still get recordings to the summerβs workshops, plus the same modules and resources, AND access to the community slack where you can interact with the whole group / me! You get 3 mentorship calls instead of unlimited, which you can schedule anytime during your 1 year access! -
How long do I have access to the course materials for?
You get 1 full year with your enrollment! That includes access to all the modules, workshops, and resources, plus the community Slack!
You can reach out to me for support whenever via Slack DM, and reach out to schedule your 3 mentorship calls anytime over the course of the year.
