Exploring the Essential Features of “Alyssa Nguyen – Camp Evergreen – Brand and Web”
Become a brand designer anywhere, anytime—and have fun doing it!
The Designers’ Summer Camp is a fun-filled and hands-on design course created to give you the confidence and skills to start branding like a pro.
Created by a self-taught brand designer to include everything I wish I knew in an interactive, playful format (because design is supposed to be fun!)
If you are…
A Complete Newbie or Design Novice
You’re new to branding design and/or professional design software and you want a course that will take you through the basics without rushing or condescension…
An Aspiring Professional Designer
You’re yearning to become a professional designer and maybe even work for yourself as a freelancer or studio owner but need some help bridging the gaps and making the leap!
A Designer in Need of Guidance
Maybe you’re working right now as a freelancer, but you’re not feeling ready to go full-time or there’s something holding you back; maybe you’re in need of some guidance to give you the confidence to move forward…
A Creative Looking for the Next Step
You’re not new to the design scene and you’ve got experience, but a skill improvement and level-up is what you need to start growing and expanding your offers…
After Camp, you’ll be able to…
🤝Work with clients on real branding & web projects with your pricing, operational systems and client process already in place.
🗂Interpret project briefs to create perfectly tailored designs for your clients and navigate the revision & feedback process.

“I created Camp to remove the high barrier to entry to the branding world and create a supportive, gatekeeping-free zone for all.”
(WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?)
Fluff-free Lessons with
Homework & Feedback
The foundation of the course uses modules & lessons that cover everything you need to know to become a brand designer! We’re leaving out fluff you don’t need so every lesson is efficient. Each module has homework assignments to help you practice what you learned & you can get personalized feedback via our Slack and in a mentorship call!
Created BY and FOR
Self-Taught Designers
Ever taken advice from someone who’s never been in your position? Taking a course from a formally-trained designer is sorta like that…I created Camp because I’ve been in your exact position and know what’s like to be self-taught & start from scratch. I’ll be sharing advice and tips that are actually relevant to what you’ll be going through and can support you through it all.
Strictly No
Gatekeeping Zone
Camp is a no gatekeeping zone because my biggest pet peeve as a newbie was all the secrecy! Every workshop, resource, template, and video is about sharing what I know and giving you everything you need to succeed. You can ask me anything during our calls; and you can trust that every piece of advice is my best.

(Hi! I’m Alyssa Nguyen 👋)
FOUNDER OF ATNN DESIGN STUDIO
I’m a self-taught designer turned freelancer turned studio owner and I’m here to help you reach your design dreams without the pressure & fluff. I know what it’s like to try and piece together everything and it’s so hard to know what you don’t know! That’s why I created Camp: to remove the high barrier to entry to the branding world and create a supportive, gatekeeping-free zone for all. Here’s some little bits about me:
- I’ve been running ATNN Design for 4 years, and have been a brand designer for almost 6!
- I’m passionate about uplifting people from underprivileged backgrounds and making BIPOC, queer, and marginalized communities feel seen.
- I’m very anti-normative (aka I don’t want to tell you what to do); my teaching style is more like a counselor than a teacher or coach. I’m here to hear your goals and struggles, and help you soar past them!
- I love play, so the vibe of this course is work hard, play hard! I like to throw in little jokes and keep it light, while still giving you all the goods—fluff free.
- I’m a 2nd gen Viet girl living it up in Brooklyn, NY! I’m a matcha > coffee girl with a big love for books and I’m so excited to become your camp friend!
