I stumbled upon design and being a designer by pure accident. I hope it has not been the case with you. Because mine was purely different. But eventually a designer I became.

And a world class at it. I'm a verified former top rated designer on the world's largest and the most competitive online talent hiring platform known as UpWork. I have maintained a 100% job success score on this platform till date.

Currently, I am on a mission to teach pure design and not any software tools in the process. What happens when I teach design through a software is that, the student ends up learning about how to navigate within the software and forgets picking up on design.

It's more like an instructor teaching the ways around a new city like Italy, but by driving the learner's car along with the student. The student then ends up learning how to drive the car and not the ways around the city, and is now stuck knowing how to drive the car but not knowing their way back.

I don't blame that mode of teaching style because that is what you get when you have a student who doesn't know anything about design nor about the design software tool.

It's in my best interest that one really learns how to design first before being introduced to a software tool. Else the ego of the beginner's mind, can trick the beginner into thinking that they have mastery over design, just because they have mastered the design software tool.

( Sorry to break it to you, but knowing where to find the rectangle tool and giving it a cool color gradient is not designing nor is it close to understanding design. It only goes to show that the beginner has mastered how to navigate within the software tool primarily.)

There is something else more that I am certainly working on. I would love to introduce it over here, eventually after I am done with these short series of design courses I bring to you for your benefit.
