Learning design as a founder with zero design experience.

•
The biggest thing I designed as Head of Sales was Sales Deck. When I started working on UI, i felt the lack of knowledge. I choose practical and precise blockers i have, find quick courses + practice while learning. 3 short courses, that helped the most: 1. Webflow 101. Basics on web and easy to use website platform https://university.webflow.com/c... 2 Codecademy learn HTML (and css). Helps you understand how devs "see" the design. https://www.codecademy.com/enrol... 3. Figma design basics. Fastest way to start making prototypes instead of excuses. https://www.figma.com/resource-l...

Launching soon!
This will help a lot of developers, designers, and even Chief officers to understand the language of design. Thanks!

Learning design as a founder with zero experience is like diving into coding without semicolons - challenging but rewarding once you get the hang of it! Those courses you mentioned are like supercharged power-ups for your design journey. Keep leveling up!

The courses are useful but I think what helped the most was post course where I started taking quicknotes from day to day when using other apps. Simple things such as how they do onboarding tours, menu design, icon interaction (e.g. mouse over to expand) etc.
