There are three major issues with most design resources available online today:
• Limited Scope: They primarily focus on core design topics like UI, UX, and research, but rarely address how the industry works or how to navigate it effectively.
• Disconnected Structure: The content is often fragmented, lacking the real-world context of how designers actually work and apply their skills in the industry.
• Irrelevant Focus: Many resources spend too much time on less relevant topics, rather than emphasizing the skills and knowledge that truly matter.
The main aim of this guide is to solve the above 3 problems by teaching you the most relevant things through a sensible and practical approach that sets you up for success and makes you industry ready. The structure of this guide is quite unique compared to anything you've seen online. I've shared all the knowledge I've gained throughout my career working with some of the best companies, designers, product managers, and engineers, while designing many amazing products.
• Structured Learning: Unlike my YouTube videos, this Guide provides a clear, structured format to help you master the right skills in the right way.
• Exclusive Content: The Guide includes dedicated videos created specifically for this resource, which are not available on YouTube. These can be found in Module 3.
• In-Depth Articles: Beyond learning design skills, this Guide features written articles across various modules to help you develop the mindset and perspective needed to make informed career decisions and grow in the industry.
• Curated Resources: Gain access to 100+ carefully curated resources I’ve collected and learned from throughout my career, all in one place.
This Guide is designed to provide a deeper, more comprehensive learning experience that sets you up for long-term success.
This guide is designed for anyone looking to fill gaps in their skill set, regardless of where they are in their journey. Whether you’re just starting out, have completed a few internships, or even have a few years of experience, this guide is for you if you’re eager to bridge those gaps and level up your skills.
Think of this as an advanced self-help guide. It’s not a course, a boot camp, or a community. There won’t be any live classes . Instead, this guide is primarily text-based with a few dedicated videos made specifically for this course. Throughout the guide, I’ll share curated YouTube videos and articles that align with each chapter. This way, you’ll be able to learn in a contextual, focused manner, building your skills step by step.
You can book 1:1 sessions with me to get your help on anything you're struggling with. These are to be paid for separately.
I would encourage you to read the chapter, 'How to learn from this Guide' to get a deeper understanding. But in short, to build a good portfolio and get your first good job you're going to spend most of your time in Module 3 - It's time to get your hands dirty. This is the module where you will get to learn, practice, and put your design skills to the test. The rest of the modules are easy and faster to consume. So in the end it all comes down to how big the gaps in your skill set are. The bigger the gaps, the longer it's going to take.
For someone who is just getting started, I'd say it would take 3-5 months to complete Module 3. In the meantime, you may still continue to learn from the other modules as you see fit.
Nothing in this profession is guaranteed—it all depends on how much time you dedicate, how hard you work, and how consistently you seek feedback and practice. However, what I can guarantee is that this guide will provide you with a practical and logical approach to learning. It’s designed to equip you with everything you need to know to become an industry-standard product designer.
Unfortunately, I would not be able to provide a refund. You are more than welcome to explore the list of chapters and see if this is something you would be interested in before becoming a paid member.
