Become a brand designer anywhere, anytimeβand have fun doing it!
The Designersβ 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!)
If you areβ¦
A Complete Newbie or Design Novice
Youβre new to branding design and/or professional design software and you want a course that will take you through the basics without rushing or condescensionβ¦
An Aspiring Professional Designer
Youβre yearning to become a professional designer and maybe even work for yourself as a freelancer or studio owner but need some help bridging the gaps and making the leap!
A Designer in Need of Guidance
Maybe youβre working right now as a freelancer, but youβre not feeling ready to go full-time or thereβs something holding you back; maybe youβre in need of some guidance to give you the confidence to move forwardβ¦
A Creative Looking for the Next Step
Youβre not new to the design scene and youβve got experience, but a skill improvement and level-up is what you need to start growing and expanding your offersβ¦
Still not sure if it's right for you?
After Camp, youβll be able toβ¦
Sounds great, right?
βI created Camp to remove the high barrier to entry to the branding world and create a supportive, gatekeeping-free zone for all.β
(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! Weβre leaving out fluff you donβt 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 whoβs never been in your position? Taking a course from a formally-trained designer is sorta like thatβ¦I created Camp because Iβve been in your exact position and know whatβs like to be self-taught & start from scratch. Iβll be sharing advice and tips that are actually relevant to what youβll 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.

Meet Your Counselor
(Hi! Iβm Alyssa Nguyen π)
FOUNDER OF ATNN DESIGN STUDIO
Iβm a self-taught designer turned freelancer turned studio owner and Iβm here to help you reach your design dreams without the pressure & fluff. I know what itβs like to try and piece together everything and itβs so hard to know what you donβt know! Thatβs why I created Camp: to remove the high barrier to entry to the branding world and create a supportive, gatekeeping-free zone for all. Hereβs some little bits about me:
Iβve been running ATNN Design for 4 years, and have been a brand designer for almost 6!
Iβm passionate about uplifting people from underprivileged backgrounds and making BIPOC, queer, and marginalized communities feel seen.
Iβm very anti-normative (aka I donβt want to tell you what to do); my teaching style is more like a counselor than a teacher or coach. Iβm 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 goodsβfluff free.
Iβm a 2nd gen Viet girl living it up in Brooklyn, NY! Iβm a matcha > coffee girl with a big love for books and Iβm so excited to become your camp friend!
Iβm not a regular counselorβIβm a cool counselor! π
