What Graduates Say

Real feedback from people who've completed our training and moved into design roles.

"Wasn't sure if I could switch careers into design at 32. But the instructors actually care about whether you understand things, not just getting through slides. I landed a junior designer role three weeks after finishing."

Now UX Designer at fintech startup
"The real projects section is what sold it for me. Instead of making fake portfolio pieces, you're actually solving problems. My portfolio from this course is what got me hired."
Priya, 26
Now Product Designer at tech scale-up
"I'd done some online courses before but they were just lectures. This was different — instructors knew the industry inside and out. They'd literally show us the tools and workflows they use at their actual jobs."

Training That Actually Prepares You

We're not a one-size-fits-all online platform. We're a small team of designers who believe training should be practical, relevant, and honest about what the industry actually expects.

Since 2019, we've trained over 500 people in web design and UI/UX. Most of them are now working as designers — some at agencies, some in-house at tech companies, some freelancing. That's what success looks like to us.

Real Industry Experience

Instructors currently working in design, not just teaching.

Portfolio-Building Projects

Flexible Learning

Evening and weekend sessions so you can learn while working.

Why This Training Works

Small Class Sizes

Maximum 12 students per session. You're not a video view count — instructors actually know your work and give feedback on your projects.

Current Tools & Workflows

Learn Figma, Adobe XD, and the tools designers actually use in 2026. Not outdated software or generic concepts.

Career-Focused Curriculum

Every module is designed with hiring managers' expectations in mind. You'll understand what employers actually look for.

Ongoing Support

Graduation isn't goodbye. You get continued access to resources, portfolio reviews, and a network of other designers.
