“Thank you so much for an amazing and thorough course. I enjoyed the classes every week and loved learning the programs. The lessons were always clear and explained in a simple way, which gave me the ability to truly become proficient in AutoCAD and Revit. BH I recently started working in an architect firm in Brooklyn and I am currently an architectural designer for residential plans. I hope to one day design and draw commercials. I enjoy my job immensely.”

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.”
