✨ i'm planning many new surprises this year, but my first announcement is that I will be teaching a new 5-week live course starting on February 3rd called "designing interfaces for connection"! learn more & register here:
i'm featuring some student work from "the art of visual design"! this is ashley's digital mood ring, a project that’s all about exploring color and shape and how it relates to our emotions. i love how she explored color and built a beautiful prototype 💖.
absolutely blown away by how beautiful my student maddie's moodboard is for the color project 🥺💖
i started the "exploring color" workshop with an exercise where students made gradient orbs representing how they feel today~
i took an intro to riso printing class at sva's risolab this fall! for my final project, i combined my love for music & design by creating a visual dictionary of music words 🎶 this class was so much fun! i felt like i was living my hs dream of going to graphic design school 🥺
✨ here's a peek at a portfolio revamp challenge i did yesterday! i asked my instagram followers to nominate a style or adjective. i challenged myself to redesign the original portfolio in a few minutes using their nominated words~
👀 btw a few of my lessons are available for free til wednesday! 1. type hierarchy 2. the anti-rules of typographic style 3. eyes for design 4. methods for decision-making ✨ hope you enjoy~ artofvisualdesign.com/preview/welcome

👁️ one of my goals as an educator is to help every student develop their personal style. to help them on their journey, i made a quiz called ✨ discover your design constellation ✨. i hope you enjoy the designer-coded questions! artofvisualdesign.com/aesthetic-quiz
kicked off a workshop today with a "plot yourself" activity! i love how everyone gravitated toward the bottom right corner~
so excited for this event on discovering your personal aesthetic that i'm hosting later today! we'll all be going through a series of exercises that help us find styles that represent us~ the collaborate figma file looks so intense when i zoom out 😈
my 2-course series ✨ the art of visual design (elizabeth's version) ✨ is complete! to celebrate, both courses will be on sale for this week only. thanks for all your support over the last year 💕! 👉 enroll now: artofvisualdesign.com
i also decided to test out the crystal ball by doing 5-minute design challenges! (yes, it was a little stressful 🥲) if you want to see my unedited process, watch me complete 3 prompts in 15 minutes: youtube.com/watch?v=BmHTCQ…
i built a little tool 🔮 elizabeth's crystal ball that will .•*• reveal your design destiny •*•. you can check it out here: artofvisualdesign.com/crystal-ball reply below with your favorite prompts~
i'm working on a new series for my students called "how i designed this." the first episode is about designing a blog layout. first, i record a video of me designing the blog from scratch (with no prep or practice beforehand!) students can watch my full unedited process.
it's been 1 year since i launched ✨ The Art of Visual Design (Elizabeth’s Version) ✨. to celebrate, I’ll be running a little sale starting next wed, nov. 20th. you'll also have the option to purchase just one course~ so proud of the students for their unique styles~
