Success Stories
I joined The Design Venue with not much knowledge about design. The mentors, Kavya ma’am and Chandrashekar sir not only made me understand what design was, but also made me grow in love with this field. They are super supportive and encourage us to explore and experiment with our creativity. The classes are practical, and the feedback sessions really helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses. I learned how to present my ideas confidently. I enjoyed the classes thoroughly and would definitely say it really helped me a lot.
The Design Venue helped me enhance my creativity by introducing me to new ways of thinking and developing my skills. The teachers are encouraging and the resources provided let me write the exam with confidence.
The Design Venue has truly been more than just a coaching centre-it has felt like a home. The warmth, encouragement, and personal attention from Chandrashekhar Sir and Kavya Ma’am made every class an inspiring experience. Their dedication helped me build strong creative and conceptual skills for my design and architecture entrance exams. I’m equally grateful to Megha Ma’am and Keerthana Ma’am for their constant support, patience, and guidance that made learning enjoyable and stress-free. The Design Venue is a space where dreams are nurtured, ideas are celebrated, and every student feels valued like family.
The Design Venue not only focused on improving my areas of need but also really put a huge emphasis on bolstering my individual strengths. I have grown strength to strength due to the excellent individualized and warm environment provided by the mentors who are highly educated, thoughtful, and nurturing. They provide rigorous challenges, as well as the tools and strategies needed to meet those challenges.
