Online bootcamps for creators of the metaverse

We’ve run over 20 accelerators for over 5000 creatives from 95 different countries. Be it photographers, digital art directors, stylists, designers, makeup artists, and now creators in 3D, we understand supporting creative people with the skills, mindset, network and opportunities they need.

I think the experience so far has been amazing. Everyone involved has been so supportive and encouraging and that's what I've really needed, as taking the first steps of my career change has been a rollercoaster, especially prior to finding the Mastered bootcamp.

Hearing from people from the industry has been great and very useful. Networking with people from the course is marvelous.

I really love the industry sessions for staying motivated when I feel like my technical skills are struggling. It's inspiring to see other people are in these roles and also to learn about all the different aspects of the industries.

My time at Mastered has been nothing but fantastic. I came into Mastered with absolutely no programming experience whatsoever, to taking on the role of a Technical Game Designer within just the span of 5-6 months, thanks to the help of my mentors!

Victor Rasuly

Games developer, August 2021 Cohort

Personalised experience. Having a mentor who is as passionate about making things I love is the greatest thing I could ask for. No one can understand you better than person who like the same stuff as you do. That said I highly recommend it because they really push you forward.

Damian Berek

3D artist, September 2021 Cohort

The team at Mastered is just amazing. I was working a full-time job and was going through a tough time mentally, but they were so patient with any issues I had and pushed me to find a way around problems in ways I never thought about.

Fashion photographer and film maker George Fok was on the original Photography: Mastered and enrolled again on the accelerator.

A film he shot at Mastered Live: Iceland entitled The Visitor from Inner Space is part of the official selection at Milano Fashion Film Festival 2017. He also shot a film entitled The Joy of Experimentation as part of Collaboration: Mastered for the Johnnie Walker Blenders Batch brief, which has been shortlisted for the Berlin Fashion Film Festival 2017.

George is always looking for future collaborators and interesting projects.

would recommend Mastered to a friend

The best thing is the confidence it has given me. Also, in the very first module, for the first time in my life, I was given the skills and expert advice to take a look at my goals and values and discover what I really want and what is important to me. I can't thank you enough for this.

Highlights have been personally being challenged to be more specific. Really being pushed to dig past the surface to get to the roots of who I am as an artist. For me being inspired in new ways has been incredible. Being able to define my connections to things.

It's so nice, neat, so professionally done. It's incredible to be part of the community - an amazing community.

Arne Beck

Photography: Mastered alumni

There is no recipe in this industry, but the course gave me the tools needed to follow my own instincts and question every single detail of my brand to ensure there is a conductive thread in everything I do. Today, a year after embarking on my course, I open my first solo pop up in Shoreditch London and I feel 100% about the products and the experience that my brand has to offer.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Honest feedback. No one is perfect and we learn from mistakes, seniors, peers and new talent.

Mastered Live Croatia was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Every aspect of the 3 days was a valued, absorbed and appreciated experience. This weekend in particular has solidified in solid ass marble that I am meant to be in this industry and I have found my home and tribe in this creative family!

The one on one mentoring with Tom Pecheux has been the highlight so far.

A game changer was the mentoring sessions. It was personalised, it was focused and full of amazing feedback.

Mariana Villalobos

Enrolled on Art Direction: Mastered

My mentor is welcoming, genuine, passionate and informative which can often be a rarity in the industry from experience. The decision to have joined Mastered and to justify the expense was completely validated with this phone call to her.

Natasha Warren

Enrolled on Makeup: Mastered

Something incredible has come out of this program already two months in. After a mentor call I was able to connect with B. Akerlund’s PR company who have now offered me a place in B.’s PR showroom in LA, The Residency. I am floored by this opportunity which only arose because of this course. Thank you Mastered!

Rena Andrews
Enrolled on Accessories: Mastered

All the opportunities that have come my way, and being part of a Masterclass. I would also say that it gives belonging and help me feel less isolated in my creative work.

Åsa Camnert

The best bit was getting noticed by the Photo Editor of Italian Vogue and taking part in the big Photo Vogue exhibition of Vogue Italia.

Lydia Gorges

I can’t express enough how much I appreciate this opportunity. I’m so grateful to the founders and the staff who are making this happen. I feel like somebody looked into my head and custom-made the programme for me.

These visionaries, artists and creative that we are getting a chance to hear from and collaborate with is truly humbling - and ultimately so so inspiring

I want to say what an amazing experience I had working with each and everyone of you in Croatia. Not only was it a dream location, but we came together as a dream team, as well. I hope you’ll agree that we had a successful shoot, resulting in some really good images. Thanks to all of you for your contributions to my own learning and growth.

Nancy Herrmann

By constraining us in time and in form, this allowed me to make in a few days immense steps towards the definition of my aesthetics Everything was there and you helped me make it clear. Thank you.

Anne-Charlotte Moulard

Enrolled on Photography: Mastered

Learning from the experts. Hearing about their experiences, the practical knowledge they share. A lot of the information from the editors is amazing. Being able to see what they see. The extended research info, is wonderful. All of it is really a great education for someone without a background in fashion.

Li Murillo

Enrolled on Hair: Mastered

I have to admit I had never had such a wide range of support in such a hybrid program.

Sio Tsvetanov

Enrolled on Photography: Mastered

The videos have been really concise and clever. It gives all the right information in short sentences. Effective and straightforward, I love it!

See what happened when Condé Nast International beauty director, Kathy Phillips met our network for a masterclass with renowned beauty photographer Simon Emmett.

When the program ended, I signed a contract with a huge agency. They're really impressed with my recent work, including the projects I completed as a part of Mastered. They told me I have the strength to go for something bigger.
