Emmanuel adapted perfectly to my needs.

I carried out this training course with the aim of acquiring the basics of product design. I loved doing this training, I learned tremendously about drawing in perspective and drawing from observation. We also worked on passing from a 2D paper sketch to Photoshop and then to a 3D software. Emmanuel adapted perfectly to my needs and managed to understand and entirely fulfil my expectations. I am eager to start a second training session in order to improve my design skills on projects that are under development.

I thought it was brilliant.

I remember I was starting my automotive design education at Strate School of Design and was still a novice. It was intimidating sending my portfolio to an experienced designer. I received Emmanuel’s feedback a couple of days later, in an audio message format, a smart way to communicate. I don’t remember the specific comments but I thought it was brilliant because he took the time to comment on every page by pointing out the positives, negatives and the opportunities for improvement. It was very kind and educational. I truly appreciated the process and am thankful to this day

I highly appreciated the exchanges I had with Emmanuel, where he adapted his advices to my skills and needs as a design student. Few years later, I still apply these advices as a professional car designer.

The feedback was accurate and precise

After spending a day with us (3rd year mobility class at Strate School of Design) during our Masters Class, Emmanuel offered to give feedback to the portfolios of each student. In this way, he took the time to comment page by page, our portfolios with the aim of improving them. The feedback was accurate and precise, which was of great help to constitute a solid portfolio and obtain, at that time, an internship; and more recently to obtain my first job as an interior designer at Renault

He immediately gave us confidence

Emmanuel served as my exterior design tutor during my initial year of studying transportation design at Strate School of Design. Under his guidance, I learned valuable skills in sketching, mastering perspectives, and cultivating a compelling design approach. He generously shared his design techniques, enabling me to create sketches that were not only more efficient but also impactful at first glance. What I admired the most was his positive attitude and willingness to impart his knowledge. I shall forever cherish the time he devoted to correcting my portfolio to elevate my skills. Merci Emmanuel !

I learned the equivalent of 6 months of classes

During our meetings, I learned the equivalent of 6 months of classes because the exchange with a professional, me being a young student, brought me true knowledge based on Emmanuel’s expertise and experience. It not only consisted of advice on sketches and portfolio arrangements, but also notions of coherence in the lines. The “eye” and the “touch” of each designer are very personal to themselves but Emmanuel passed on those notions during our exchanges which allowed me to enrich my design skills and to develop them further today in my position.

He positions himself at the same level as the students

I appreciated a lot the human side of Emmanuel during his contributions at Strate. He positions himself at the same level as the students and took time to analyse our projects. The exchange was always constructive, without questioning the creative work, while bringing enriching reflections / improvements.

He knows how to give sharp advice in order to boost our strengths

I was in close contact with Emmanuel during my studies and I keep a very good memory. From ideation to sketching, he knows how to give sharp advice in order to boost our strengths and help us learn from our weaknesses, always with a goodwill and an open mind. A real support, sensitive to others.

Meet your mentor

During the last 15 years Emmanuel Klissarov has helped shape the design of vehicles for a range of international brands such as Renault and Mercedes-Benz. Being several times part of the masters degree jury at Strate School of Design in  Paris, where he also worked as part time design teacher, he gave lectures and workshops at other European design universities such as Besign SDS in the south of France.

2003

Enrolled in Industrial Design

I started freelancing after work — late nights, weekend gigs, no social life. It brought in extra cash, but I was still trading time for money. I knew there had to be another way.

2005-2006

Exchange program at Strate School of Design

Fresh out of university, I landed a full-time job. It paid the bills, but I was constantly tired, creatively drained, and stuck in a routine that didn’t feel like mine.

2006

Internship at Citroën

I started freelancing after work — late nights, weekend gigs, no social life. It brought in extra cash, but I was still trading time for money. I knew there had to be another way.

2007

Internship at BRP

Fresh out of university, I landed a full-time job. It paid the bills, but I was constantly tired, creatively drained, and stuck in a routine that didn’t feel like mine.

2007

Graduated Industrial Design

I started freelancing after work — late nights, weekend gigs, no social life. It brought in extra cash, but I was still trading time for money. I knew there had to be another way.

2007

Started at Dacia Design

I stumbled on creators selling templates, courses, and ebooks. The idea of building once and earning on repeat felt like a cheat code. I spent months learning everything I could.

2012

Moved to Renault Design

It was messy and far from perfect — but it worked. I made £560 in the first week. Not life-changing, but it changed my mindset completely.

2018

Joined Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design

I doubled down. Built more products, automated systems, grew my audience. Within a year, I quit my 9–5 and took my work with me while travelling.

2021

Launched an independent design practice

I was finally in control of my income, schedule, and location. I worked 3–4 hours a day doing what I loved. My digital products earned while I rested.

2022

Launched this mentorship

After helping friends and clients do the same, I decided to package everything I’d learned. This course is the exact roadmap I wish I had when I started — so you can skip the burnout and get straight to building your own freedom.
