Build, don't watch

You have watched every YouTube tutorial.
You still can't build.

Tutorials pile up, playlists get longer and the HR teams still can't see what you have built. Here you ship a real product with AI beside you, mentored by someone who has done it, so a few weeks in and you will get a portfolio to show — not another badge for your LinkedIn, but a real portfolio.

How it works

One real product. AI in every step.

01

Fundamentals, first

You'll learn the foundational concepts of each topic first, just like you learn to add, subtract and multiply before tackling algebra.

02

Build a real product

Not just a portfolio piece — you will build an actual product MVP, from idea to something real.

03

Demo Day with industry experts

Showcase what you have built to real industry experts, not just your mentors.

04

Career support

Land your dream job — we provide all the support you need to get there.

The tracks

Two courses. More tracks on the way.

Mentored by Bikash Joshi

Bikash didn't just mentor me in building products, he helped shape how I think. He encouraged me to look beyond execution, understand the real problem, and stay grounded in the user's perspective. That shift continues to influence how I approach decisions and solve problems.

Founding cohort

Join the founding cohort. Be in the first room.

The founding cohort is small on purpose — more direct mentor time than any cohort after it, at a founding price, with a say in how the program evolves.

What founding members get
Small by design
The first cohort is intentionally small, so you get more direct mentor time than any cohort after it.
Founding price
A one-time founding rate for Cohort 01 — confirmed when you apply.
Shape the program
Your feedback directly shapes how the course evolves. You're learner #1, not #1,001.
Honest fit

Built for people who want to build

This is for you if…

You want to break into product or design for the first time
You're switching careers from another field
You're a working pro leveling up to AI-first ways of working
You'd rather build real things than binge tutorials

It's probably not for you if…

You want a passive, watch-only video course
You're after a certificate to frame, not a portfolio
You want the skills without doing the work
FAQs

Everything you might want to ask

Absolutely. The programs are designed for beginners, career switchers and working professionals alike. We start with fundamentals before moving into real-world projects, so you don't need prior experience to get started.

Most courses teach concepts. We help you ship. You'll learn the fundamentals, use AI throughout the process, build a real product, receive mentor feedback and graduate with work you can actually show employers. The goal isn't another certificate—it's a portfolio and proof of execution.

Most learners spend 5–8 focused hours per week between live sessions, project work and feedback cycles. The more you build, the more you get out of the program.

Not at all. Many of our learners start with nothing. By the end of the cohort, you'll have a real project, documented process and portfolio-ready case study that demonstrates your skills.

No—but professionals who use AI effectively will outperform those who don't. That's why AI isn't a separate module in our programs. It's integrated into everything you do, from research and ideation to prototyping, development and delivery.

Every cohort includes direct mentor interaction. You'll receive project feedback, career guidance, portfolio reviews and dedicated 1:1 mentoring sessions designed to help you make faster progress.

Yes. We help you improve your portfolio, position your work, prepare for interviews and navigate your job search strategy. While we don't guarantee placements, we help you become significantly more employable.

Choose AI-Driven UX Designer if: • You want to become a UX/Product Designer • You're new to design • You want to master the end-to-end design process Choose UX Engineer if: • You already design and want to build • You want to create working front-end experiences • You want to stand out as a designer who can ship

This is your dedicated time with your mentor. We review your work, identify skill gaps, discuss career goals, answer questions and create a clear action plan for your next steps.

Because mentorship doesn't scale infinitely. We intentionally keep cohorts small so every learner receives meaningful feedback, direct access to mentors and personalized support throughout the program.

You'll graduate with: ✓ A real product you've built ✓ A portfolio-ready case study ✓ A completion certificate ✓ AI-first workflows used by modern teams ✓ Mentor feedback and career guidance Most importantly, you'll leave with proof of work—not just proof of attendance.

Apply anyway. Every application is personally reviewed. If we think another track—or even another learning path—is a better fit, we'll tell you honestly. No pushy sales calls. No pressure.
