The Fall Program is open to everyone!

This program was once exclusive to college students and recent grads, but the demand (and results) spoke for themselves—so we opened it up to everyone. We’ve transformed our Graphic Design Course into an intensive 8-week bootcamp built for today’s job market.

It will be an 8-week long program, from Monday September 29 to Friday November 17.

See Syllabus for the full breakdown.

Enrollment closes on September 25th, 11AM Pacific Time.

Let’s be real - what does a college degree get you these days? It’s no longer enough to say “I went to X” even if it’s a prestigious design school that you paid $80K a year for.

Your portfolio and confidence that you can handle real-world deliverables is all that matters. That’s exactly why we made this course. We want to help you stand out in a stack of applicants, land interviews, and feel confident when you get the job. This is as close to on-the-job training as it can get.

This program was once exclusive to college students and recent grads, but the demand (and results) spoke for themselves—so we opened it up to everyone. We’ve transformed our Graphic Design Course into an intensive 8-week bootcamp built for today’s job market.

In a recent survey, 65% of design students said they don’t feel job-ready—and it’s no surprise. Universities and YouTube tutorials often stop at theory or tool basics. Our curriculum goes further: it’s built to mirror real on-the-job training. You’ll master design tools (Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator) dive into the brand identity process, build a portfolio, and explore career paths, whether that means landing a job, freelancing, or starting your own agency.

Along the way, you’ll get access to a private Discord community, 1:1 feedback, more live sessions, portfolio reviews, and a rich library of design resources to support your growth.

This program is ideal for designers who are serious about leveling up and making real career moves.

Fair question! The cost covers the Graphic Design Course + Program. We put a great deal of thought into the amount of education you receive with the course. If you plan on freelancing, you can charge from $500 to $3,000+ for branding or graphic design services.

Also, if you are shopping around and looking at other courses, a few things to think about:

① If it’s a low price point, who is your teacher? Are they doing work that you want to do? Do you get access to them?

② If it’s a higher price, look at the student work. Often, we find that higher education has more “student work” projects that are fun and abstract, but most companies and clients are looking for real-world deliverables.

YES! We prioritize providing students with personalized 1:1 feedback and support to overcome obstacles. You'll have many opportunities to reach out to your instructors, discover career intel that you didn’t know you needed, and get your questions answered.

Weekly assignments corresponding to each section are provided to aid you in refining your portfolio and honing your skills. These design tasks will be assessed and you'll receive feedback from your instructors! If you ever get stuck or have any questions (which is completely normal!) you can message your instructors on Discord at any time.

On average, about 60 hours. The exact time depends on your current technical and design skills—advanced students may move faster, while beginners may take a bit longer.

We recommend dedicating 10–20 hours per week, with more time if you’re new to design. The program is structured to help you stay on track, and you can view the full breakdown in the Syllabus.

YES! For live calls, we are based on Pacific Time. However, if you miss a session (which happens), we will have recordings available.

Yes! You can find details on the Scholarship Application page.
