If you’re like the most novice product designers

You most likely got the design industry wrong…

I studied design. I went to all the relevant classes, completed all my homework assignments, had good grades, and wrote all the papers. I graduated and never thought too much about the next steps. I had complete trust in the educational institutions.

Feeling proud of myself for reaching my education goals, I gave myself a short period to rest after graduating and then started applying to design jobs. I thought the companies were just waiting for young designers like me. After all, I kept hearing that designers are in demand.

I crafted my CV, included a couple of smallish projects from college studies into my portfolio, and started applying to jobs. I was in for a rude awakening... The visual skills I focused so hard on, and the skill of listening to college lectures did not qualify me for meaningful, high-salary UX/UI design work.

I was educated but unemployable. Rejection after rejection, I started noticing the pattern in what people were telling me behind those fancy-worded rejections I received.

I actually had no real problem-solving skills, or at least I didn’t showcase them in the right way. My portfolio was focused on theoretical knowledge and visuals. I had no idea how to apply that theoretical knowledge to real-life projects even though I thought I was doing everything right. If the rejections didn’t keep repeating, I wouldn’t even believe them.

You only learn this AFTER BEING HIRED

Myths about your design career that are quietly sabotaging you

The honest truth

You need a combination of meaningful insights, implementation resources, and real-life practice

Stop hiding from hard tasks your brain hates and refuses, and start taking action on the things you’ve learned. That means applying your design knowledge to different, realistic design projects!

Take charge, start making money, get the job you want or get that raise! 💰 It takes work, but it’s so worth it!

If you’re ready to change the narrative of your career and you’d love to get actual, tangible, measurable results and the money in the bank – we’ve got a resource-packed roadmap with your name on it! 🚀

Lucas

Verified Review

I felt a bit insecure about taking on a project I was asked to do, but after rapidly going through two design challenges within just 10 days, I felt a lot more confident. I ended up building an amazing relationship with that client!

I’ve been following you for a while on Instagram! Decided to give this a chance, and I can’t say how happy I am for doing that! This is so value-packed! You’ll gain so much experience!

Annika

Verified Review

I never had the confidence to say “I’m a designer” even though I have been teaching myself design for 9 months. After completing a few of these design challenges I can finally say that I feel like a designer!

Marina

Verified Review

Really appreciate that I was able to choose from so many different project types! You get a real design problem and being new in this field, it helped me learn Figma alongside learning how to design.

Alex

Verified Review

This boosted my progress toward the intermediate level immensely! It’s a cliche, but all good things are hard, and I truly believe this was a perfect example of it! You have a huge recommendation from me! Thanks y’all.
