About 383 Design Studio
383 Design Studio, a company with over 20 years of fashion industry experience, a passion for digital design, and a love for sharing both with others.
383 Design Studio was started in 2005 in an apartment in Brooklyn, NY. The studio began as a consulting firm for men's and women's active, street and intimate apparel. After many impromptu tutoring sessions and multiple inquiries from people finding online design presentations, the studio eventually began to focus on computer training, organizing group classes and later private and corporate training sessions.With over 20 years experience working in fashion, our head trainer, Mikelle Drew, has worked for companies such as Danskin and Champion and taught her practical and efficient methods to companies such as Gap, J.Crew, Eileen Fisher, Orvis, PVH and a host of other individuals and group classes during the past 13 years. With her fashion background, recommendations from industry peers, and a legacy of teaching (the majority of her family are teachers), Mikelle's classes are both relevant and comprehensible.
When you choose 383 Design Studio for your training needs, you're choosing informative classes in a relaxed learning environment with a knowledgeable and fun instructor. Small classes keep the training more personal and non-intimidating. You'll leave our classes armed with the knowledge and tools you need to begin using the computer as a design tool. And the one-on-one followup sessions help answer any additional questions you may have after the class is over.

Illustrator Bootcamp for Fashion: Level 2
Mikelle is so personable, fun to learn from and clear in her instruction. She has great industry experience and can really relate to what would need to be taught in the class. I took this class as a refresher and learned a ton of great shortcuts and new/fasters ways to get things accomplished. -
Photoshop and Illustrator for Fashion: Footwear Design
Mikelle is a great teacher. Learned so many shortcuts on Illustrator. She is very patient and adjusts curriculum to student's needs. I would definitely take another class with her again! Highly recommend it. -
Illustrator Bootcamp for Fashion: Level 1
The professor is very nice, answer questions with good attitude and patience. I wish the instruction is a bit more clear and more structured to someone with zero background and try to grasp everything in less than 8 hrs. Got lost quickly on some occasions when working on the projects later. I think a lesson like this to a very beginner needs to break down into few sections so we get to practice a bit in between, esp on the very important key points that needs to be reinforced. Overall not bad experience but wish I felt I got it after I took the lesson. -
