Why are designers difficult to work with?

Working with creative individuals can be both rewarding and challenging. As someone who has been designing since 2012, I’ve observed that the friction often arises not because creative people are difficult but because they think differently. In this blog post, …

Learning to design changed my life!

In my early 20s I worked as a door-to-door sales agent. It was lots of work and little pay. I discovered 99designs.com, a platform where you would design websites in Photoshop (it was 2010) and you would get paid only if the client liked your design best. That’s how I got started in the design world.

In short, I won over $50.000 by doing web design in Photoshop for 99designs.com. I then started several businesses, most of them revolving around designing. For example, my app design studio, which I ran from 2013 to 2018, where we created beautiful mobile apps. We ended with over 200 million downloads.

Nowadays I use my design skills at my company Ohvaz, a healthy food start up in Romania. I design packaging, Facebook Ads, presentations, brochures, outdoor banners, the works! This is what I propose you do as well – create lots of value for companies from all over the world.

If you can help companies sell more through beautiful designs, you will be very well paid. It doesn’t matter if that means a new website, better social media posts, better Facebook Ads, what matters is you leverage your designs skills and help those companies.

Learn to design & be confident

The #1 thing that learning to design did for me was making me feel like I'm in control of my own life

People who are interested in learning Figma will benefit greatly from taking this course. This course taught me, as a novice, that I must first accomplish things correctly such as a button, card, header, footer, color scheme, and pixel perfect before I can focus on being creative. I learned this lesson as a result of doing this course. Thanks!

Rodel N. Rabadon

Chris is an amazing educator and explains everything very clearly. He walks you through step by step and explains why he is doing it. I really love his courses and would refer them to anyone wanting to learn design.

Wendy Hannah

A great teacher, covers everything well. And excellent explanations. Already saved me $10 a month on my adobe purchase ! i was paying for something I did not need. Great tips already.

Ed Kratz

I’m only just starting this course, and I’m already enjoying it and learning so much already. The tutor is so easy to understand, and explains things so easily, then what with the PDF’S included, this is definitely my go to course. Would definitely recommend . Thanks Chris.

Michael Twell

Extremely practical and to the point. He obviously care a lot about his students actually understanding and mastering the techniques.

Lukas Chudy

I haven’t complete the course yet. Nonethless, so far I have learned many tricks and stuff that I did not have any idea of. It has been a great experience and can’t wait to finish it!

The courses are already recorded and they’re available anytime you have an internet connection. You can’t download the lessons, but you do have unlimited access, including any updates or new courses.

Yes, you will get a certificate, but it’s worthless. The most important things you’ll get from this platform are: 1) great design skills; 2) a portfolio. With these two, the possibilities are endless: get a full time job, a part time one, remote or in-house, start a design agency, freelance, and so on!

No, they’re not included. Figma is totally free, but Photoshop and Adobe XD each cost $10 per month. The only place to purchase them is adobe.com, but this is all explained in the course.

I have no idea! Think of me like a world-class fitness trainer. Even though I’m absolutely fantastic at what I do, at the end of the day, you have to sweat. You have to put the work in. So it’s all a matter of how you apply yourself. I’ll be with you every step of the way, but it’s in your hands. Which is great news!

Sure! 30 day refund, no questions asked.
