Not your average design and dev bootcamp. Our design and coding courses are about a new way of thinking about and building digital applications and products.
VIEW OUR COURSES
Designers want to code, coders want to design, everyone needs to understand some part of all of it. But how do you wrangle all that information together and actually accomplish something useful and usable?
Our courses will teach you how to think and act like a dev and a designer — ideate, research, create pixel perfect UI's, code the font-end and backend and make it beautiful, usable and dynamic, regardless of the type of project you're working on or the tools or languages you choose to use.
While you can choose any number of design courses and bootcamps to learn skills and applications, the problem is that design applications change, new programming frameworks are introduced, and roles evolve, but the core problem of communication, how and what to learn and how to get around knowledge blind-spots remains.

"I can't begin to explain how helpful getting insight from someone in the field is. It helps me focus on what's important, and really streamline the process of going from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "I still don't know what I'm doing, but at least I have a plan on how to get better". It really is invaluable and I feel like working with Eric has really sped up the process of getting better!"
