I am a student at NIFT (Bhubaneshwar) currently pursuing Textile Design. As a fashion and textile enthusiast I have been searching for courses online during the pandemic and most of the courses were not of much help. I have been watching your youtube videos before getting into NIFT. Designershala was unbelievably helpful to me. The best thing is I got my basics right with Concept to Creation course. I have been struggling with a lot of clutter and your workshops taught me how to get back on track. The workshops kept me motivated and I am very thankful to you for spending time with us every month! Your courses majorly focused on getting the foundation right and that helped me a lot. Most online courses skip the basics and it just gets pretty much overwhelming. I love everything about the course and one of the best things in the course is rendering techniques. I suffered a lot with rendering and now it got easy for me. I would definitely suggest your courses to design aspirants as it is one of the best. Investing in Designershala is one of the best things I have done.

I started watching your YouTube videos last year, that is where I discovered DesignerShala. For a while now I have been very insecure about my sketching skills. I knew that your course was what I needed and watching ur YouTube videos I knew I could trust you. As of now I having an awesome experience. My sketching has gotten so much better since. The live monthly workshops provide so much insights. Plus the 5 day challenge was the best thing ever. I procrastinate a lot, so that challenge was very helpful. #yourdreamfashionlife helped me prepare myself for the future with preparing a vision board, resume etc.

Thank you Dii for such an awesome opportunity!

I found you through YouTube and later joined the Concept to Creation Course and this is how I became a part of Designershala. This course helped me a lot as I would always sketch only clothes and not human figures because I was absolutely worst at it, but even I can't believe myself that I was the one who was not knowing to drawing even a percent of human figure and now I can draw it super duper easily. This course has just simplified each and every small little things that anyone, literally anyone can become a pro at it after taking up the course. And the live sessions with you are magical because it's so knowledgeable. I already feel I am in a fashion design college. My favourite feature of the course is that it allows me to learn at my speed ,I can always slow down or fast the video according to my wish. I would suggest each and every Fashion Aspirants to join Designershala, because it's totally worth that investment and the amount and quality of knowledge we are getting is so immense and so pure . Also it's totally flexible we can learn however we wish as its features allows us to do so and I don't feel anyone like anyone will regret after taking this course because I can already feel the vibes, everyone will be on top of their games after completing the course!

I came to know of ‘Designer Shala’ when Shivangi Lahoty announced it on her YouTube channel, as I have been passionately following her there for the past one year. When I enrolled for ‘Concept to creation’, I wanted my illustrations to be better proportioned and detailed. Although my human figures were okay, I had to know how to put my ideas on paper clearly and I got that on Designer Shala. My journey with Designer Shala has been beneficial, to say the least. My illustrations have turned catchier and I have gained an in-depth knowledge in Fashion Designing. My colour combinations and fashion knowledge have also been improved. Their monthly workshops made the basics of fashion designing accessible to me. My favourite feature of Designer Shala is it’s informative yet crisp and short videos. It’s definitely worth joining the course, as it’s beneficial for beginners and to anyone wishing for a career in fashion. It is one of the best decisions that I have taken so far, which will definitely help me in my future pursuits.

I got to know about Shivangi di aka our Designer Didi while scrolling my YouTube about 3-4 yrs back when I was in a dilemma that should I go on with my passion or do medicals as my father dreamt of. But my thoughts completely changed when I learnt about fashion from Di. Now when she started Designershala, I without giving any second thought enrolled for it. Because the main difficulty was to improve my skills of sketching and making designs. After few days of practicing with the tricks and different ways told by Didi I was really overwhelmed as I saw a drastic change in my drawing skills. My way of observing things improved and finally I am able to get my designs on paper as it is they are in my mind. Due to this I was able to give my NIFT entrance with confidence. Monthly workshops are the best thing as I met a few people from my city and people with a same mindset. These workshops also keeps me motivated to work hard for the entire month and to improve. My personal favourite thing of DesignerShala is that the videos are pre-recorded and always have something extra for you. Even we get mails and all the necessary information and every help in a possible way.

I have being watching and following Shivangi di for the past 3 years now. When I first came to know about Designershala, I was very excited and I thought that Concept to Creation would help me know the basics of design and illustration, but I was pleased to know that the course had so much more to offer. I did not know anything about illustration and when I enrolled for the course we had to submit one of our illustration I did not know what to do as I really had never made any illustration before, so I just made whatever came to my mind that time, and to be honest it was awful. That moment I realised that I needed this course so much to achieve my dreams and indeed this course has been the stepping stone towards by career. The live workshops to be honest are a detox session for me. It helps me regain the power to works toward my ambition, amidst all other work. Not to forget the best thing about this course is that we can watch and re-watch it again and again, at any point of time. I would really suggest anyone or all to sing up for the course because I do not really think you would ever get a better course ad a better mentor like Shivangi Di, so consider signing up!

I discovered DesignerShala through YouTube. When I found out that I might be interested in Fashion I went straight to YouTube, searched NIFT tips and came across Shivangi ma'am and her amazing videos! I have been following her since then and always wished to learn from her and then literally in a month she announced her Concept to Creation course! I was so happy to see it and immediately enrolled! I needed this because I was literally confused about my future and life and career because of this pandemic and when I found out something I was interested in,Shivangi ma'am and the course came as a blessing in disguise! I am currently a class 12 science student so I haven't been able to be too regular to the course because of my exams which have occured every month since January! But this is the amazing feature of the course..you can do it at your leisure! There's no pressure at all! This obviously has to be my favourite feature of the course apart from the great teaching ofc ! And also whenever I felt guilty for not being able to do the course regularly I reached out to ma'am and she has been so supportive and encouraging! My sketching skills have improved, I am able to sketch the basic illustrations on my own now! I'm too slow on this course but it is a great journey! I cannot wait to complete the course soon and kickstart an amazing fashion career!

I came to know about DesignerShala when Shivangi Di uploaded a video on her YouTube channel announcing that she has launched her online academy for all the fashion aspirants. I went crazy as soon as I heard that because that was what I needed. I quickly enrolled myself for the Concept to Creation course. Being a part of this academy for the last 2 months has been amazing. This course has helped me get my basics clear on how to draw and illustrate, to present my ideas on a piece of paper. It not only teaches us to illustrate western wear but also indian wear. We also have a live training workshop every month where we get a chance to talk to our mentor and clear our doubts. DesignerShala pre-prepares us as we go ahead to work in the industry. Personal: I honestly don't know how to thank you for what you have done for me. As someone from a small town where people don't consider Fashion as a career you are keeping me awake to work for my dreams. Today, if I know anything about NIFT and FIT, it's just because of you. I am so grateful to call you Di and reach out to you in any problem. And in spite of having tons of work, you answer my questions. Thank you!

I didn't have much confidence in my illustration skills and wanted to improve them a lot. But with this course, I am learning so much, from human body proportions to model poses and what not. We are even provided with resources like templates as we go through different modules in the course.

One thing I absolutely love about this course is that we have the monthly workshops with Shivangi di herself! It is definitely an amazing and educational experience, especially being my first with designershala and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to pursue a career in fashion.

Hey! So, I have been watching Shivangi Di's YouTube videos for a very long time now. And got to know DesignerShala through Instagram and Youtube videos. I was very confused about doing fashion designing but Shivangi Di's videos helped me a lot and gave me the confidence to pursue fashion designing as a career. I was worried about my fashion illustrations. That's when I decided to register for the Concept to Creation class. Every time I sit for the class, I am excited.

I love the classes. And the best part is Shivangi didi always helps and solves all doubts. My skills have improved while still learning though. It has boosted my confidence. And the best part is live workshops where we learn and discuss everything with Shivangi di. The live workshops have a different level of positivity. I would request everybody to sign up for the course. It's amazing. Thank you Shivangi didi.

Hi, I work as an assistant designer and coordinator. Back in 2019, I enrolled myself in the diploma in fashion designing after my bachelor in commerce as my interest was always in designing, but was not clear about how to go ahead with it. I saw a video of yours in my recommendation and I went through your YouTube channel and subscribed to it. It was all so inspiring and at that time really helpful with my studies of designing too. I was struggling to get an internship at one point. Your motivational videos helped me deal with the same. And I got an internship as I went as per your guidelines. Even when I was in search of a good job to start my career as a designer, your guidelines for a good resume and cover letter helped me a lot. I made a list of studios I wanted to work with and applied to more than 10 studios and within 3 months I got a call for an interview from the best among those. All the credits go to our Designer Didi and the confidence she gave me. I am forever grateful to her. Even after getting the job, I was still struggling with my illustrations. I always faced problems expressing my concepts in the form of drawings and was not able to showcase my ideas. And then comes “DesignerShala” as an answer to all my questions, an online master course, which helped me a lot. Now I am clearer with not only my basics but also boost my confidence as a designer. And I am more determined towards my goal of having my own sustainable small business as an apparel designer. Designer Shala helped in building up exactly where I was lacking behind.The best part of the course is that it is in a pre-recorded form which makes it extremely convenient and it provides time flexibility so that we can work and improve at our own pace. And that too with such reasonable rates. You’re a blessing di. Our designer Didi is always available for her students no matter what time it is. She is undoubtedly the best mentor and a guide one can have.
