~Best Testimonial - EVER!
Hi Nino!
I'm having so much fun. I am looking at the world in a totally different way. I never thought fashion design could change the way I look at myself. I thought it was just design and clothes, but it's so much more. It's amazing!
For example: today I read a newspaper and saw something called kurbits (a local Swedish painting style) and it dawn on me that I could do something around that. So cool!
Anyways, just wanted to tell you this and that it's life changing to take your courses!
So, a huge Thank you, Nino!
Kindly,
Astrid Seter
