Design Skills That Actually Matter in 2025
Eight months of focused practice in mobile UX/UI design
We're starting a new cohort in October 2025. Not a bootcamp promising instant career changes. Just real training for people who want to understand how mobile interfaces actually work. You'll spend time with working designers from Hong Kong studios who've shipped apps people use daily.

What You'll Actually Learn
The program runs from October 2025 through May 2026. We meet twice weekly — once for theory, once for studio work. Most participants already have some design background or adjacent tech experience.
Mobile Interface Fundamentals
First two months cover touch targets, gesture patterns, and navigation systems. You'll tear apart existing apps to see what works and why. Less theory about color wheels, more about thumb zones and one-handed operation.
Design Systems and Components
Build reusable component libraries that scale across different screen sizes. Learn how Hong Kong's banking apps maintain consistency across iOS and Android. This is where you start thinking in systems instead of individual screens.
Real Project Work
Final four months, you work on actual client briefs. Small local businesses who need mobile interfaces. You'll present work, get rejected, iterate, and learn what it's like when someone's budget depends on your decisions.
Where People End Up
Past participants from our 2024 cohort share their progress
I finished the program in June 2024 and spent three months freelancing before joining a small agency in Wan Chai. The portfolio work from the course got me through the door. I'm not leading projects yet, but I'm contributing to actual app development for retail clients.
Went through the 2023 program and still reference the design system we built. I work in-house now for a fintech company. The course didn't make me an expert overnight, but it gave me vocabulary and process that hiring managers recognized. Took about five months after graduation to land this role.
The program helped me transition from graphic design to digital work. I'm still freelancing but now I can take on mobile projects with confidence. The client work portion taught me how to present design decisions, which matters more than I expected.
