PlusThe course was very well structured and complexity kept increasing with every section. The final exercise is very interesting. Trainer seems to know a lot about her field and feels passionate about patterns. I only with there was more practice exercises in between.

Giorgia has really in-depth knowledge in pattern design that I didn't expect it to be this deep and interesting. The course is 10/10 with easy to follow tutorial, how to think effectively and look for pattern creatively. Everything is good about this course. Giorgia voice and tone is great at storytelling, she makes the whole course enjoyable.
