Here goes the intro, tada!
Hi! I’m Malkie Scholnick, founder and chief at The Bold Edge. (Yes, chief. When you have twins you need to feel chief of something :). I’ve got a thing for hot pink and have been happily immersed in the creative industry for over 20 years.
I have studied at Adelphi University with a major in Management and Communications (fancy language for marketing and business stuff). I also attended FIT and Desktop America for Design (with additional years of self-study and research–I mean learning never stops, especially if you are doing something you love!)
I’m also a total tech geek. I love discovering new tools or simple ways to create eye candy – and then tipping off my students and grads so they can uplevel their own work.
I have taught design to thousands of students worldwide!
Also, I have had the honor to guide many businesses owners, non-profits, educators, service provider (and fill in the blank) professionals. They have been able to up the way their business is presented through my easy to follow classes and secrets hacks that just work!
I look forward to helping you too look more professional (and reaching your revenue goals)!
Clear, concise, and personable
We wanted to provide a short and comprehensive graphics course for business owners. I was having difficulty finding an instructor as the curriculum and layout is different from your typical graphics course. Malkie was willing to work with me and create the course perfect for our needs. And perfect it was; clear, concise, and personable! Each and every student gained tremendously, elevating their graphics to soaring heights. I can’t wait to work with Malkie on further projects.

She provided many examples of each idea
I really enjoyed the graphics course that I took with Malkie Scholnick. She is very knowledgeable and eager to share it with the students. The class went at a good pace for learning the material. She provided many examples of each idea and welcomed questions at each step. I would definitely consider taking another course with Malkie in the future.

The skills I learned are definitely going to help me professionally
Malkie’s course was a great introduction into the world of graphics. All of the materials covered were SUPER useful, from creating a flyer to how to build on your brand she covers everything you need to know to make beautiful, cohesive designs that make sense for YOU. I love that she was super clear with her lessons and explaining new tools and she always took the time to make sure we understood. The skills I learned are definitely going to help me professionally (marketing) and it gave me the structure I needed to build my personal business.

From color, to texture and everything in between, it was so eye-opening.
Although this course was mainly for those in the business world, I joined just to get the graphic knowledge. I gained so much about all different aspects, especially with things that I didn’t pay so much attention to beforehand. From color, to texture and everything in between, it was so eye-opening. And I use it in my every day designing. Although this course was mainly for those in the business world, I joined just to get the graphic knowledge.
