The Designers’ Summer Camp is a fun-filled and hands-on design course created to give you the confidence and skills to start branding like a pro.

Created by a self-taught brand designer to include everything I wish I knew in an interactive, playful format (because design is supposed to be fun!)

β€œI created Camp to remove the high barrier to entry to the branding world and create a supportive, gatekeeping-free zone for all.”

(WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?)

(1)

Fluff-free Lessons with
Homework & Feedback

The foundation of the course uses modules & lessons that cover everything you need to know to become a brand designer! We’re leaving out fluff you don’t need so every lesson is efficient. Each module has homework assignments to help you practice what you learned & you can get personalized feedback via our Slack and in a mentorship call!

(2)

Created BY and FOR
Self-Taught Designers

Ever taken advice from someone who’s never been in your position? Taking a course from a formally-trained designer is sorta like that…I created Camp because I’ve been in your exact position and know what’s like to be self-taught & start from scratch. I’ll be sharing advice and tips that are actually relevant to what you’ll be going through and can support you through it all.

(3)

1:1 Mentorship AND
Community Support

Most courses have live calls with a Q&A session as the only way to interact. With Camp Evergreen, I offer 3 mentorship calls where you can ask me anything in the privacy of a 1:1 call. You get the benefits of a live community through Slack, but you get the unique opportunity to have a direct mentor helping you on your individual journey.

(4)

Strictly No
Gatekeeping Zone

Camp is a no gatekeeping zone because my biggest pet peeve as a newbie was all the secrecy! Every workshop, resource, template, and video is about sharing what I know and giving you everything you need to succeed. You can ask me anything during our calls; and you can trust that every piece of advice is my best.

(Hi! I’m Alyssa Nguyen πŸ‘‹)

FOUNDER OF ATNN DESIGN STUDIO

I’m a self-taught designer turned freelancer turned studio owner and I’m here to help you reach your design dreams without the pressure & fluff. I know what it’s like to try and piece together everything and it’s so hard to know what you don’t know! That’s why I created Camp: to remove the high barrier to entry to the branding world and create a supportive, gatekeeping-free zone for all. Here’s some little bits about me:

  • I’ve been running ATNN Design for 4 years, and have been a brand designer for almost 6!

  • I’m passionate about uplifting people from underprivileged backgrounds and making BIPOC, queer, and marginalized communities feel seen.

  • I’m very anti-normative (aka I don’t want to tell you what to do); my teaching style is more like a counselor than a teacher or coach. I’m here to hear your goals and struggles, and help you soar past them!

  • I love play, so the vibe of this course is work hard, play hard! I like to throw in little jokes and keep it light, while still giving you all the goodsβ€”fluff free.

  • I’m a 2nd gen Viet girl living it up in Brooklyn, NY! I’m a matcha > coffee girl with a big love for books and I’m so excited to become your camp friend!

I’m not a regular counselorβ€”I’m a cool counselor! 😎
