You're Already Creative.
Now Let's Add
Fashion Design to Your Arsenal.
A two-day immersive bootcamp where you go from novice to confident designer - and leave with a well-made, wearable garment that is completely, and unmistakably YOU!
YOU BELONG HERE
You don't need years of training.
You need the right guide.
Maybe you currently crochet. Maybe you make jewelry. Or you are an artist creating in other ways that light you up. You already know what it feels like to create something beautiful with your hands.
But sewing? Fashion design? That always felt like a different world. Too technical. So intimidating.
But it isn't with the right guidance. And this bootcamp will prove it to you -- in only two days because you're busy and I respect that.
"You're not going to spend 3 months practicing stitches and making potholders. No, you're going to start making your own clothes immediately."
---Terina Nicole, FIT-trained Designer & Educator
THE FRAMEWORK
The D. E. S. I. G. N. Method
TM
This is not a sewing class. It is a complete experience - the same process professional fashion designers use, compressed into two days and personalized entirely to you.
D
DISCOVER
We start by demystifying the design process. You'll finally understand how clothes and accessories go from inspiration to finished garment - and why knowing that changes everything about how you create.
E
EDIT
You'll gather inspiration and refine it into a clear creative direction. A mood. A point of view. We're not making generic things that feel like they belong on someone else.
STYLE
S
We'll define your personal aesthetic -- the colors, silhouettes, and details that belong in your wardrobe and on your body. This is where your taste becomes a design tool.
IDENTIFY
I
We take your measurements and identify your body type - not to put you in a box, but to design around your actual proportions. All bodies are good bodies. All bodies deserve clothes that fit them well.
GUIDE
G
This is when the making process begins. Terina walks you step by step through patternmaking and construction - no fluff, no busy work. Within the first few hours together, you've gained confidence. By the end of day two, you will have a custom-made garment and the ability to continue to design clothes on your own.
NAVIGATE
N
You leave knowing how to do this again. Not just the techniques - the whole design process. Design thinking. Patternmaking. Construction. The independence that you're gaining is the real flex.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
This is for the creative person
who is ready.
Ready to:
-
Stop feeling powerless as a consumer constantly buying clothes that fall apart, fit poorly, or don't suit your real life.
-
Show up as your authentic self with your distinct style and beauty.
-
Have a closet full of designer-level pieces without the exorbitant price tags or the harm to the environment.
-
Take your creativity to the NEXT level and embody it, literally, by wearing your art.
-
Bring new life to the clothes rotting away in your closet because they need minor fixes that don't know how to do.
Are you ready?
THE INVESTMENT
Two days.
One method.
An unlimited wardrobe.
Let's be honest about the math.
$497
Two full days - 6 hours each -
Personalized instruction - priceless new skills - the wardrobe of your dreams.
vs.
A custom garment from a professional tailor/designer $800+. And you still don't know how to make it yourself.
vs.
A single fashion design course at a university can cost thousands of dollars and takes 4 months to deliver what we deliver in two days.
vs.
Designer pieces that actually fit your body, aesthetic and lifestyle --- are hard to find. And one designer garment costs much more than this bootcamp.
The Fashion Design Bootcamp gives you what these other options cannot: the skills to make beautiful, unique, well-made, high-quality clothes yourself, for the rest of your life.

Your new and improved wardrobe awaits.
