THE ACADEMY

A MODERN SCHOOL OF INNOVATION FOR THE NEW RENAISSANCE.

Where founders build, refine and defend the brands they’re meant to create.

Overview

THE ACADEMY is a seasonal, self-paced program designed for founders, creatives and operators who want to turn their brand idea into a functional, refined and market-ready concept through structure, discipline and narrative clarity. This isn’t another online course.

This is a thesis project.

Participants work through the Statement Method Framework: Distill, Design, Develop and Drive, building a complete brand system from idea to execution.

DURATION: September 7, 2025 - December 7, 2025
