Why DesignPath Exists

Our founder, Olesia Borysova, led a design team for three of her 8+ years in product design. Designers kept asking her what to learn next, and there was no good answer: lessons were scattered across courses, videos and articles, and nobody looked at the work they made.

DesignPath is the answer she wanted to hand them: one place where you see your real level, get a plan that fits your role, practice on real tasks, and get feedback on what you make.
