The Creative Process
A Step-By-Step Guide You Take at Your Own Pace.
About This Course
The Creative Process Course teaches the step-by-step procedure that helps creatives generate and execute ideas and develop them through finished work. This self-directed course explains and demystifies the creative process and teaches you how to start using it for better outcomes.
This process is used by advertisers, designers, and creatives at agencies and studios everywhere -- and it is essential that you know it in order to work in the creative fields.
Even though this process is used in the Advertising and Design industries - many careers benefit from knowing and using this process. It will help open up your thinking and streamline your work to save you time and find more joy in the doing.
The Creative Process offers the promise that on one day there is no idea, and no solution, but on the next day, there is an idea. That is cool.
In this course you’ll get:
- The fundamentals that helps you focus your thinking.
- Brainstorming techniques and approaches, tips on how to create roughs and comprehensives, industry terminology and expectations, and guidelines for presentation of your process.
- Assignments and quizzes to practice your newly learned techniques.
- I’ve loaded up this course with resources, links, interactive PDFs, articles, and process tools.
In the end, you’ll understand the creative process, and be able to use it on client based and personal projects. It will be a tool in your arsenal if you're ever stuck while trying to find that amazing, creative, solution.
"I use the creative process daily in my job. When I first started, finding a creative solution was terrifying. Looking at a blank page was so scary. Learning the Creative Process taught me how to work through the fear and overcome with smart, interesting solutions."
- Kristen Sugihara, Senior Art Director, Greenhaus

Your Instructor
Years ago I saw that creative bootcamps, portfolio schools, and most design and ad programs aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. There is no good fit for the working adult or for the student who needs to learn remotely. Plus, the one-size-fits-all portfolio doesn’t work for career opportunities that are opening up in creative industries, every day.
As Co-founder of Portfolio Studio and Founder of Portfolio MasterClass, I’ve tailored my courses to fit HOW students want to learn through self-directed studies, small group learning, team, and one-on-one courses. The teaching methods I use can help you develop your creative thinking and unique talents for transformation.
My grads have landed jobs in top-notch agencies and studios in the US and around the world. They’ve won numerous awards including ADDYs, Clios, and recognition in publications including Print, Archive, CMYK, & Applied Arts.
When we work together, I’ll tailor a very specific path for you, to meet your career and creative goals.
When you pass this course, you'll earn a Certificate of Completion. Use your Certificate to validate learning & share with an employer.
