A shared vision created together
We met through the photography world and immediately connected on our shared love for clean, creative visuals. Even though we live in different countries, we’ve been working closely ever since, developing educational content, building Visual Creators together, and creating this course together with a mix of both our styles. It’s something we’re proud of, and something we wish we had when we were starting out.
