What students say

I went from spreadsheets to a junior designer role at a startup in four months. The mentorship made all the difference.
Amara K.
Now Product Designer @ Fintech startup
The curriculum is so well structured. Every week built on the last and I always knew exactly what to do next.
Leo P.
Career switcher from marketing
Maya's feedback was honest and kind. My portfolio finally looks like someone who knows what they're doing.
Sofia R.
Freelance to full-time
The design systems course was exactly what I needed to level up from 'good designer' to 'design lead'. Worth every cent.
James M.
Senior Designer @ SaaS company
The UX research course gave me a framework I use every single week. I've already applied it to three client projects.
Nadia W.
UX Researcher @ consultancy
As a non-designer founder, the UI for Startups course gave me enough to ship our MVP without hiring a designer. Game-changer.
