The old apps — Photoshop, Lightroom, Canva, Mailchimp — are archaic next to what these approaches can do. We teach what replaced them.

The list price is the list price. Every discount here is named, personal, and expiring — a special, a founding seat, an aid application. If the price is the only thing in the way, apply. We would rather adjust than lose the work.
A mentorship-led practice: local apprentices, senior review, AI tools.
Tri-cities students, 16–22, learn the AI toolkit through real briefs and weekly sessions.
Each apprentice runs one local engagement — a shop's site, a parish bulletin, a chamber email.
A senior reviews everything that ships, and every project ties the town a little closer.
Two ideas anchor the work: beginner's mind and beauty in imperfection. The fastest tools in the world, slowed down enough to notice what they can't do.
Every craft here is re-thought from scratch with AI — taught from real client work, added to constantly. The old apps are archaic. The curriculum is what replaced them.
