Reviews
Koi Samsa defines herself as a plastic artist and multidisciplinary designer with a non-linear career path. This experience has led her to discover new talent, manage content, organize projects, and boost her creative activity.
She began as a professor teaching project methodology and design at the Valencia School of Art and Technology. She later learned how to combine her work as a designer, strategist, and digital content consultant with personal projects, such as demos for Amazon events or book covers for Penguin Random House and Grupo Planeta. She currently devotes her time to creating and selling her own artwork.

J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'enseignement et les conseils, astuces de Koi Samsa ; elle sait comment nous encourager.
Dommage que la traduction ne soit pas au niveau (comme dans l'ensemble des 17 cours achetés), de gros problèmes de compréhension surtout dans les techniques (j'ai été obligée de m'appuyer sur des livres et de demander de l'aide à des artistes de mon entourage).
C'est ainsi que j'ai pu avancer jusqu'à la fin.

Elle est géniale ! Elle ne se contente pas de nous ouvrir à sa technique, son style, mais elle donne de vraies clefs de méthode de travail et de créativité ! En plus elle rayonne, c'est un plaisir de l'écouter

Gostei muito do curso, das dicas de lettering, da abordagem poética dos temas e do uso da aquarela, mas especialmente a parte do estudo das cores.
