Sketch 4 Success – it does exactly what it says in the title! For years I looked up college courses that would enable me to get my ideas onto paper however nothing out there suited my needs. Sketch 4 Success is the first and only course that provided me with the skills necessary for me to get my ideas finally out of my mind and on to paper!

Having worked with Ms Kane on a variety of different product design projects I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and attention to detail. When undertaking a project, large or small, 100% commitment is given from the outset with no stone left unturned. Her ability to listen to and understand the customer’s requirements and articulate them in a way that will develop a concept into a product that the end user will want is second to none. This quality is often underestimated but highly relevant and pertinent in the product development industry.
