Group 1637 - Design Alive

“Some people see a problem and THAT’S the problem
Some people see a problem and that’s the SOLUTION.”

I was the latter… But, first, an intro –

Hi, hand - Design AliveI’m Zippy

founder and director at Design Alive.

Group 1514 - Design Alive

Back in 2009, (yup back then) I was working as a graphic designer and instructor
and loving every minute. I saw so many of my creative friends
stuck in dead-end jobs they dreaded.

That's when I thought to myself — why can’t more
frum, creative women launch a successful career?

Why do they need to push it to the side because, ‘it doesn’t pay the bills’ or ‘I don’t want to go to a secular college’?

I believe:
Your creativity could bring you enjoyment and fulfillment
Your commitment to your values could bring you valuable income
Your knowledge you chose wisely could make your confidence soar

rocket about us page - Design Alive

And so Design Alive was launched...

… a place for creative people to get top-level design training from
their own homes and launch a successful career.

The Motion Graphics course was excellent. It gave us familiarity with so many parts whereas other courses focus on just 1 aspect.
The teachers were experts, so accommodating, & gave their all to the students. I'm so glad to be part of a big network of like-minded designers only through Design Alive!

Aviva LewitanMishpacha Magazine
At the high-level design firm I work at, they keep telling me, “We can’t believe you’ve only taken a 1-year program. All the other designers have taken a 4-year course and your knowledge + skills are on par — and in some ways even exceed them.” I couldn’t be more grateful that I chose Design Alive
