Stop being “just a writer”
Start being the designer who gets hired
In 3 weeks, build the portfolio, the confidence, and the collaboration skills that flip your career
Your portfolio is selling you short
Blog posts, copy snippets, scattered writing samples—none of it proves you can design experiences
And hiring managers?
They can tell.
You’ve tried:
Collecting certificates like Pokémon cards
Reading endless Medium posts that just contradict each other
Hitting “apply” and waiting for silence
The result? Portfolio shame, self-doubt, and the sneaking fear you’ll always be “just a writer”
Here’s the brutal truth:
No one hires “good writers” They hire proof
✗
A certificate doesn’t show that you can collaborate
✗
Self-paced courses won’t prepare you for team dynamics
✗
Writing samples don’t prove you can solve UX problems
Without strategy, collaboration, and outcomes, you’ll keep spinning your wheels
Instead of apologizing for your portfolio, you’re owning it:
You’ve built a polished case study
You’ve practiced collaboration, feedback, and presenting your work
You’re walking into interviews with proof and confidence
That’s the shift from “aspiring” to hireable AF.
Imagine walking into an interview armed with proof, not excuses
90% of design leaders say collaboration is the #1 hiring skill
If your portfolio proves you can “speak product team,” you’re already ahead of most applicants
This isn’t another self-paced course.
It’s a 3-week transformation.

What’s inside
The D.E.S.I.G.N. Framework — Learn the Design Mindset (Without Needing a Design Degree)
This 3-week course is built around D.E.S.I.G.N. — our signature process for turning writers into content designers who think strategically, structure clearly, and show proof.
Each letter represents a stage in your growth — and each week walks you through how designers actually build experiences.
Week 1: D + E → Define & Engage
Think like a strategist, not a sentence-polisher
You’ll learn how to break down a problem, understand what the business wants vs. what the user needs, and map your insights into a one-page Strategy Brief.
✅ You’ll walk away with: a clear foundation and a research-backed plan for your project.
Week 2:S + I → Structure & Illustrate
Design lives in hierarchy and flow
You’ll organize messy copy into intuitive layouts, create simple user flows, and place your words into mockups so they look and feel like part of a real product.
✅ You’ll walk away with: annotated screens and structured flows that prove you think like a designer.
Week 3: G + N → Group & Narrate
Collaboration and storytelling bring it home
You’ll work with peers, apply feedback like a pro, and turn your project into a cohesive case study with visuals, rationale, and results.
✅ You’ll walk away with: a polished, portfolio-ready case study — your first piece of real design proof.
The D.E.S.I.G.N. Advantage

FAQs
Got questions? Here’s the rebel rundown.
-
Nope. This course was made for writers, marketers, and creatives who want to learn the design mindset — not for people who already know Figma inside-out. You’ll get templates, step-by-step guidance, and group feedback every week so you’re never guessing.
-
Plan for about 3–5 hours per week. That includes lessons, your weekly deliverable, and feedback sessions. Everything’s built for working professionals — fast, structured, and doable alongside a full-time job.
-
No stress. All live trainings and feedback calls are recorded and uploaded within 24 hours, so you can catch up anytime. You’ll still get feedback inside the group workspace even if you can’t join live.
-
By the end of the 3-week project, you’ll have:
A complete ShopSmart case study — ready to drop into your portfolio
Real UX artifacts (flows, mockups, annotations)

We don’t teach theory — we teach proof.
You’ll actually build a project, not just talk about it. You’ll leave with a finished case study that looks and sounds like real product work. That’s the difference between “student” and “hireable.”
