I would not be where I am today if not for Design Alive. I always had a passion for videos and Design Alive really bought me to the next level. The motion course taught me the skills that I could now fly with!! Adina Cahn taught everything really clearly and was always there if you had any questions. I have my own business now called Filmcraft. I also worked at Nockout Media as a video editor. If you are looking to learn more about the  video editing and Motion field, Design Alive is the place to be!!!

Design Alive provided the best framework and footing that an enterprising graphic designer could hope for. I finished the program confident in my knowledge of design principles, and assured that I always had whom to turn to for opinion and advice. I strongly feel that the success I have had in the years following can be attributed to the groundwork that Design Alive meticulously laid

Vitty SteinerFun and Function
The Design Alive Motion Graphics course was excellent. It gave us familiarity with so many parts of motion-graphics, whereas other courses focus on just one aspect. This gave me a chance to see which type I like best, so I can work with that. The teachers were experts and so accommodating, and gave their all to the students. I'm so glad to be part of a big network of like-minded people now - I wouldn't have had access to them without Design Alive!
Teva UngarFreelancer
I recommend DesignAlive as a #1 choice for any post seminary girl (or anyone else!) considering going into graphics. The skills and techniques learned are invaluable and give the student the necessary tools to become a professional and talented graphic artist. Leah's Computer Graphics course was clear and precise and I came out feeling very comfortable with all 3 programs taught. And Graphics with Zippy was unbelievable! Each student developed her own flair and style and created a variety of projects compiled into an impressive portfolio. Zippy's amazing eye for detail and creativity gave us that push to keep going until everything was just right. A huge thank you to DesignAlive!!
Naama WeissmanHandee Products
In a short amount of time, Mrs. Thumim transformed my vague sense of aesthetics into concrete, practical terms and a strong sense of design that allowed me to immediately begin a career as a professional graphic designer.
Arielle KwestelRubberband Graphics
Design Alive is unreal. After the intensive design training Design Alive provided, I find that I naturally apply the skills we were taught. The difference shows remarkably in my projects. Besides for the great teaching, it is most pleasing to have acquired a network of friends the world-over, all with a passion for design that matches my own. Having a variety of contacts to confer with over graphics questions and design opinions is a major benefit.
Esther HellerBlue Sky Trading, Inc

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
