Transparent Investment in Your Design Future
Choose the learning path that matches where you are right now
We built these programs around actual feedback from design studios across Taichung and Taipei. They told us what they need. We structured our courses to help you get there. Our autumn 2025 cohort starts September 15th, and we're keeping class sizes small—around twelve students per track.
How We Structure Learning Time
Most people ask about hours first. Fair question. Our Foundation Track runs about 8-10 hours weekly over three months. That's manageable if you're working full-time.
Professional Track bumps up to 12-15 hours weekly across six months. You'll spend roughly half that time in guided sessions, the rest on projects.
- Live sessions scheduled for Taiwan evenings (7pm-9pm typically)
- Recorded content available if you miss a session
- Project work fits around your schedule
- Weekend workshops optional but recommended
What's Actually Included
Software access gets confusing fast. We provide educational licenses for Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch through our institutional partnership. That saves you around NT$2,400 monthly if you were paying retail.
You also get access to our resource library—design systems we've documented, component collections, and case studies from real client work. Plus our private community workspace where current students and alumni share what they're learning.
Master Track adds one-on-one mentorship sessions. You get four hours monthly with an instructor who reviews your work individually and helps navigate whatever roadblocks you hit.

Meet Your Lead Instructor
Maya Lindström • Design Education Director
I spent eight years doing interface work for startups in Stockholm before moving to Taiwan in 2019. Teaching wasn't the original plan—I started mentoring junior designers at my studio and discovered I actually enjoyed breaking down complex concepts.
These days I split my time between client projects and teaching. Keeps me honest. If I'm showing you techniques in class, they're things I used last week on actual work.
"The best learning happens when you're slightly uncomfortable but not lost. That's the balance we try to hit with every project."
I review every portfolio piece personally before it goes into your final collection. Not in a harsh critique way—more like catching those small details that separate decent work from polished work.
