About
Academy of Design gives students the chance to design, illustrate, and sew fashion. The program is inspired by Project Runway Junior and aligns with maker movement and design thinking practices. It is the only program for young designers in the Bay Area taught by a fashion industry insider.
• Ages: 8–13 years old
• Schedule: Tuesday–Saturday, 10:00 am–6:00 pm
Founder Pamela Moyce leads the Academy of Design and is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. The program’s stated mission is to teach the process of design, promote a design mindset to think outside the box, and teach the skills needed to communicate ideas and build prototypes.
Parent feedback includes comments that the program has a design focus, allows freedom and individual style for each designer, and is described as unique and special compared with other activities on the Peninsula. Another parent states that their family is very happy to have discovered the Academy of Design and thanks the program for offering their daughter a sense of “normalcy” during challenging times.
