So MAD Right Now

No new classes or memberships at the moment, just the existing tutorials and ideas for young creatives to explore in their own time.

So MAD About Design is currently on pause as a business. I’m focusing my working time on other projects, so I’m not running regular classes, memberships or new programs, I am keeping what already exists available though, as a creative library for young creatives and their families, and will likely add to it when I can because it’s something I love doing.

What is paused:

For now I am not:

• running live classes or term programs
• opening Studio Vault membership to new members
• taking new Launch Pad enrolments
• offering regular one to one coaching or group programs

If you see older posts or pages that mention these, please treat them as a record of what So MAD has offered in the past rather than something that is currently available.

What is still available:

Even while So MAD is on pause, you can still:

• explore blog posts and free resources with your young creative
• use ideas and prompts for school projects or personal work
• contact me with questions about creative kids and teens

Why I pressed pause:

So MAD started as a way to give creative tweens and teens a safe and encouraging space to build real design skills. That still matters to me a lot.

If I could clone myself, one of me would happily run So MAD full time while the other got stuck into my other projects.

Right now though, I do not have the time or bandwidth to run So MAD alongside everything else. Rather than pretend it is running when it is not, I have chosen to press pause, be upfront about where things are at, and keep what already exists available 🥰

Will So MAD make a comeback?

If life slows down enough for me to give So MAD the attention it really deserves, I would love to bring back new projects, classes or membership options. I have no dates, no secret launch plan and zero promises right now though.

If that changes, this page will be the first to know, and I will also give everyone on the email list a friendly tap on the shoulder!
