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...

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.

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!
