Course author

Murad Saypulaev

A practicing designer with experience on projects for digital agencies and independent brands. I don't teach you to "make it pretty" — I teach you to make defensible decisions: why this typeface, why this spacing, why exactly this way.

"Good design isn't talent — it's a trainable skill for noticing detail. My job is to train that skill in you in 8 weeks."

Igor V. — Cohort #03 graduate
★★★★★
