- EREllen R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsI love the VectorLab! Ray
I love the VectorLab! Ray is a great instructor + I’ve learned a lot that has helped me professionally. I work as an artist + graphic designer for a small fashion label, + I love how tailored his programs are. It’s really transferrable to what I do in the industry. If you’re a graphic designer not working in fashion, these workshops will still be really beneficial to make complex + interesting designs. Excited to take more courses with Ray!

- DGDavid G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsA very useful introduction to
A very useful introduction to the world of T-Shirt design, techniques and tools. As the course evolves it would be great to see move video of actual T-Shirt production across the various techniques, however, the course prepared me to go looking in the right direction for additional background material.
On a separate note, the support from Ray has been superb. I needed help before travelling and he was there all the way. Big THANK YOU to Ray
