Summer Lighting Mentorship — Live Intensive

Four days of interactive, engaged conversations in a small cohort. Not a seminar. A working studio where we face the real challenges of making work, leading rooms, and persevering in an artistic profession without guardrails.

2 sections6 lessons
The Live Intensive is where Designing Stories becomes a room instead of a course. In addition to the 6 week Self-Guided Course, Four days, Monday through Thursday, inside a small cohort — you, a handful of peers, and Jason, working together in real time. These sessions are not seminars or panels where you watch and listen. They're interactive, engaged conversations. We unpack the design problem you brought with you. We take a direct look at what's in your way — as a designer, as a collaborator, and as an artist trying to build a sustainable practice in a field without guardrails. Expect a balance of group work, 1-on-1 time, honest critique, and real-talk about the business and emotional reality of the work. You don't just leave with a finished piece — you leave with a sharper sense of how you make decisions and how you keep going. Pick one of four summer windows. Each window runs Monday through Thursday — the same curriculum, intimate cohort, your choice of schedule.
