Building Interfaces That Actually Work
We teach web design through real projects, not theory. Six months of hands-on work with tools people actually use in 2026.
See What You'll Build
Why Most Design Courses Fail
Here's what nobody tells you: learning design principles without building real things is like reading about swimming. You'll know the theory, but you'll still sink.
We saw this happen too many times. Students finishing courses with certificates but no actual portfolio. Great at talking design language, terrible at solving real problems.
So we built something different. Every week, you're working on projects that look exactly like what clients ask for. Messy briefs, unclear requirements, tight deadlines. The stuff that actually prepares you.
You Build From Day One
First week, you're already working on a landing page. Not a perfect one, but a real one. We review it together, break down what works and what doesn't. Then you rebuild it better.
Tools That Matter
Figma, VS Code, Git, Chrome DevTools. The same stack used in actual studios. No proprietary platforms that look good in demos but don't exist in the real world.
Feedback That Sticks
Every project gets reviewed in detail. We record walkthroughs, point out what we'd change and why. You learn to see design the way experienced designers do, not through abstract rules.

Learn From People Still Doing The Work
Both instructors run active design practices. They're not teaching from outdated experience or rehashing old trends. When they show you a technique, it's because they used it last month.
Kenji built e-commerce platforms for mid-size retailers. Astrid redesigned onboarding flows that actually increased conversion rates. They know what clients care about because they deal with those conversations regularly.
Classes stay small deliberately. Eight students maximum. You get actual attention, not generic feedback copied from a rubric.
Review The Full CurriculumSix Months, Six Real Projects
Each project builds on what you learned before. By month six, you're handling the kind of work studios charge thousands for.
Months 1-2: Foundations Through Building
Create three landing pages from actual client briefs. Learn layout, typography, color systems by applying them. Weeks two through eight involve constant iteration based on critique.
Months 3-4: Multi-Page Systems
Design a complete website with navigation, content hierarchy, responsive behavior. This is where things get messy and interesting. You'll rebuild sections multiple times as you figure out what actually works.
Months 5-6: Your Portfolio Project
Choose your own direction. E-commerce, SaaS product, portfolio site, whatever interests you. We guide you through the same process we use for paid work. Research, wireframes, prototypes, final design, development handoff.
What Happens After Finishing
- You'll have six projects that look professional enough to show potential clients or employers
- You'll understand how to take vague requirements and turn them into actual designs
- You'll know the workflow studios use, so you're not learning on the job
- You'll have direct connections to the Taiwan design community through our network
We can't promise you'll get hired immediately or land specific clients. Design work is competitive, and outcomes depend on many factors beyond our control. But you'll be significantly better prepared than most people trying to break into this field.
What Students Actually Say
These are real experiences from people who completed the program. Results varied based on their starting points and how much time they invested.
From Marketing to Design
Sanna Virtanen spent five years in marketing before deciding to shift careers. She struggled initially with visual hierarchy and spent extra hours redoing early projects.
By month four, she was designing interfaces that looked professional. After finishing in March 2025, she started taking freelance projects through connections made during the course.
Building Technical Skills
Tomáš Novotný came in knowing basic HTML but had never designed anything. His first landing page attempt was rough, mostly because he focused too much on code and not enough on layout.
The breakthrough came when he stopped trying to make everything perfect and just built messy versions first. His final portfolio project was an e-commerce redesign that he's still proud of.
Next Program Starts February 2026
Eight spots available. Classes run Tuesday and Thursday evenings, plus Saturday morning workshops. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis through January.
