3. Why did you join the Artpreneur Program?
I was feeling unsatisfied with my daily routine and was eager to switch to a career in a creative field. However, I was unsure of where to begin. As a working mother, committing four years to a design school was not feasible for me. I researched various short-term design courses, but I was not satisfied with the quality of work they produced.
The Artpreneur Program was precisely what I was looking for: a one-year course with mentorship to build a high-quality portfolio. The skills, knowledge, proficiency, and exposure I gained through this program were far better than other courses that demanded a longer commitment.

4. What were your expectations from the Artpreneur Program?
As a beginner in the industry, I had high expectations for the program. I hoped to master various aspects of the industry, including branding and creating illustrations on my own.

7. How independent are you after the Program?
I have become more independent than I expected! To be honest, I was not sure if I would be successful after the program, and I even considered taking a full-time job if I did not do well. However, within the first six months of completing the program, I was able to secure various paid projects and earn back the money I invested in the program. I am now running my own design studio and continuing to grow my business independently.
