The Design Workroom is your very own online fashion design academy, created by fashion designers and educators Nick Verreos and David Paul! With hundreds of step-by-step video lessons, monthly LIVE classes, and a creative community, you'll learn the art of fashion design from the fundamentals to advanced techniques — all at your own pace.

Absolutely not! Whether you're a complete beginner, a fashion student, an aspiring designer, or simply looking to expand your skills, The Design Workroom is for you. Our lessons cover everything from foundational techniques to more advanced skills, allowing you to learn and grow at your own pace.

Your membership gives you access to our online library of fashion design lessons, monthly LIVE classes, and member community. Simply log in, choose what you'd like to learn, and start creating! You can follow lessons in sequence or explore topics that interest you.

All three memberships include exactly the same lessons, LIVE classes, and benefits! The only difference is the price and billing schedule. Monthly Membership is $29.95 per month, Yearly Membership is $299 per year, and our limited Founding Membership is $249 per year. Founding Members lock in that special annual rate for as long as they maintain an active membership.

Our Founding Membership is a special thank-you to the first 100 people who join The Design Workroom at our introductory annual rate of $249. You'll receive full access to the academy and keep that special rate every year for as long as your membership remains active without interruption. Once these memberships are gone, the regular annual rate will apply to new members.

No worries! We know everyone has a different schedule, and our members will be joining us from around the world. Every LIVE class will be recorded and added to your membership library, so you'll never miss a lesson. Watch whenever it's convenient for you!

Each month, join Nick and David for an exclusive LIVE class, typically lasting 60–90 minutes! We'll demonstrate fashion design techniques, share professional tips, and answer your questions. Can't attend live? No problem! Every LIVE class will be recorded and added to our video library so you can watch it whenever you like.

Absolutely! That's one of the best parts of The Design Workroom. Watch lessons when it's convenient for you, pause to practice, and revisit techniques as often as you'd like while your membership is active. There's no pressure to keep up with a traditional classroom schedule.

No! You can enjoy The Design Workroom without purchasing the book. However, our hardcover textbook, The Basics of Patternmaking for Fashion Design, Second Edition, makes an excellent companion to your online lessons, giving you a detailed reference to use as you learn and practice.

Yes! Every lesson from our patternmaking book has a corresponding instructional video inside The Design Workroom. Whether you already own the book or are thinking of purchasing it, these lessons are a wonderful way to see the techniques demonstrated step by step. The physical book is sold separately and is not required to join.

The Design Workroom is an independent online fashion education membership, not an accredited college or degree program. Our focus is on practical, hands-on skills, creative development, and sharing the techniques we've taught throughout our careers in fashion design and education.

The Design Workroom brings many of the skills and techniques taught in traditional fashion design classrooms directly to you — without the enormous tuition bills, rigid schedules, or lengthy enrollment commitments. While we're not an accredited college, our goal is to make professional fashion design education accessible to anyone with a passion for learning. Whether you're exploring fashion for the first time or expanding your existing skills, there's a place for you in our Workroom!
