From Passion to Profession:
Kickstart Your Design Career Here

At Young Designers Academy, we introduce students to the wonderful world of design careers—from Architecture and Interior Design to Fashion, Product Design, Illustration, Graphic Design, and more. Young creatives are invited to discover and explore the dynamic fields of design and construction through hands-on experiences and creative exploration.

Whether your interests lie in architectural structures, interior spaces, or artistic expression through drawing and sketching, we offer courses to suit every passion. Students will gain contemporary design skills and be introduced to design thinking—a powerful approach to solving complex problems with creativity and innovation.

All our training is delivered by industry professionals at our dedicated studio in Milford, Surrey. The studio is also open for GCSE and A-Level coursework support, with individual tuition and expert guidance available for portfolio development.

TESTIMONIALS

Margie and Sophie have been amazing at guiding and supporting my daughter putting together her digital portfolio for her University applications. She had a few sessions in the studio and they spent time looking at her work, and then together came up with a wonderfully presented and more importantly personal portfolio for Ruby to tweak and then forward to her University choices. It obviously did the trick as she secured 5 offers from all of her initial choices. We're hoping she's now off to UCA Farnham to do a Foundation year before launching into a degree in Animation. Thanks so much!

ARTS AWARD

The Arts Award is a national qualification that inspires young people up to the age of 25 to grow their arts and leadership talents. 

The Arts Award levels—Explore, Bronze, Silver, and Gold—are recognised on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). The Gold level, in particular, can contribute significantly to a university or college application due to the UCAS points conferred by it.
