Having been a designer and now pursuing a MSc in Sustainability, the Trend Atelier school and founder Geraldine Wharry's work resonates deeply. As a result of completing the forecasting course, I secured several freelance forecasting jobs.
Thank you Geraldine for sharing all this amazing content. I've been studying Trend Research for years now, and I'm always looking for more experts to learn from. There is just so much to discover! Thanks again!
I just wanted to say I've loved the course - everything about it! I have gained some great insight, direction and confidence from listening to your experience. I have decided to re-engage with design more sustainability and authentically and this course has given me such a wealth of research to explore and take with me. Thank you for all our help.
I am super excited to be part of the course. There has been so much valuable information already. For me, the thought of "collective fiction will shape society" is def an epiphany and while it is quite obvious, I've never really put it into context until now. Another thing is the possibility for trend forecasting to help shape a more sustainable mindset, so we can finally leave the crazy "24 collections a year madness" behind. It is time for a change!
This was a great course with an awesome instructor! The course helped me understand how to combine my intuition with data to form a comprehensive trend report. When I started the course, I did NOT know the theory behind trend forecasting. You, the course, gave a clear understanding of the theory behind trend forecasting and its importance. It was inspirational and very resourceful. I would love to make the whole course into a hardcover so I can have it at all times. Thank you so much!

Geraldine taught me that to be a forecaster and detect the future, not only you must work on your skills to recognise patterns through society and disciplines but simultaneously you should keep thinking how those changes, that are occurring before your eyes, will impact the future.
One of the most in-depth courses I have ever taken. It is very engaging, and captivating and it's complete. All the things you need to learn Geraldine discusses, It's very insightful and eye-opening.
I'm blown away by how in-depth and comprehensive the course is! And, the resource materials are a fantastic addition to further the study and understand the application of the concepts in the course.
The course is amazing, so much information to digest, so much inspiration. It is so generous of you to share all the templates and know hows you have gained over the years!
This course addresses and delivers against all of my expectations. I'm very interested in the impact of trends on health and wellness and how the future of science-led innovation, and technology will deliver innovation and insights in new and exciting ways - add design/system thinking, the creative industry and the solutions are exponential. This course is amazing and has already provided some breakthrough thinking. Thank you Geraldine and I look forward to learning more and applying what I'm learning in new ways.
