The story behind the season
What if April changed
everything about how you design?
Every great designer remembers the moment it clicked. The moment a drawing stopped being a plan and started being a story. When the lines on a page became a space that made someone feel something they couldn't quite put into words.
That moment shouldn't be left to chance — and this April, it won't be.
For the first time ever, Elevate Pool Pros is opening the doors to a complete design education series built specifically for the professionals who craft the outdoor world: pool builders, hardscape artists, outdoor living designers, and landscape architects at every stage of their journey.
Design Month 2026 is three courses, eight nights, and an entire industry's worth of knowledge delivered live, in real time, by someone who has actually done it — hundreds of times, on projects spanning the globe.
The program at a glance
Live. Recorded.
Yours for a year.
Design Month isn't a pre-recorded course you forget you bought. It's a live, interactive virtual experience — taught Tuesday and Thursday nights throughout April — where you show up, engage, ask real questions, and leave each session better than when you arrived.
Every session is recorded in full. Miss a night? No problem. Need to revisit a concept three months later before a big project? It's there. Your access continues for a full year after the final lesson — so the education works on your schedule, not the other way around.

The Curriculum
Three Courses.
One Complete Design Education.
Design 101
Design Foundations
Every extraordinary outdoor space begins with principles most designers were never formally taught. Design 101 changes that. This foundational course takes you back to the bedrock — the elements, the rules, the vocabulary — and builds your eye from the ground up.
Whether you're just entering the industry or have been designing for years with instinct alone, Mastering Design Fundamentals gives you the language and framework to understand why your best work works — and to replicate it, intentionally, every time.
Understand the core elements and principles of professional design
Develop a trained designer's eye for proportion, balance, and flow
Build confidence in the "why" behind every design decision you make
Design 102
Design Processes
Knowing what great design looks like and knowing how to create it are two entirely different things. Design 102 bridges that gap with a step-by-step patented process that unlocks creativity, removes the blank-page paralysis, and transforms the way you approach every project.
This is where theory becomes action. You'll learn to implement new Design Processes that incorporate cutting edge technological tools alongside time-tested design school methodology — so your workflow is both inspired and efficient, delivering work that turns heads and wins clients.
Follow a proven, repeatable design workflow from concept through presentation
Integrate modern digital tools into your creative process
Unlock your creative potential and transform the spaces you produce
Design 401
Design Psychology & Advanced Design Principles
The most breathtaking outdoor spaces aren't just beautiful — they feel like something. They evoke memory, emotion, and longing in ways their owners can't always articulate. That's not magic. That's Design Psychology — and in this advanced course, you'll learn exactly how it works.
Design 401 takes you deep into the "WHY" behind design. You'll explore the psychological principles that guide how human beings experience space, and learn to apply advanced design theory to craft environments that move people on a level far beyond the visual. This is the course that separates good designers from transformational ones.
Understand the psychology of how people experience outdoor space
Apply advanced design principles that elevate work from beautiful to unforgettable
Design environments that create genuine emotional transformation for your clients

Jason
Brownlee
Jason Brownlee isn't teaching from a textbook. He's teaching from hundreds of completed projects — pools, outdoor living spaces, and landscape environments designed for clients across the country and around the world.
A licensed Landscape Architect holding the ASLA, IWI, and CBDP Master designations, Jason has accumulated dozens of International Design Awards across a career defined by the belief that outdoor space should be more than functional — it should be transformational.
He has developed and patented a proprietary design process that fuses the rigor of professional design school training with the power of cutting-edge technology and the emotional intelligence of Design Psychology. It's a system refined over years of real-world projects — and for the first time, he's making it available to the industry in a course format.
Come for the expertise. Stay for the humor. Jason brings a disarming, light-hearted style to material that could easily feel academic — making these courses as fun and engaging as they are genuinely useful. Nobody does serious design education quite this way.
