This isn’t your typical design program for learning the nitty-gritty of a design software. Nah! No one's teaching you how to be great at Figma or After Effects here. This is for early-stage designers who are ready to boost their careers/skills beyond technical expertise. We'll skip the software drills (because we expect you already know the fundamentals of your craft) and dive straight into leveling up your soft skills.
