Background
Everyday, we see job openings from companies in need of Designers. Everyday, too, I see designs posted by designers everywhere—twitter, instagram and whatsapp—few are great, some are just good, while a couple are a bit far off.
Design Class with TO aims at bridging the knowledge gap, for entry-level and junior designers by focusing on core design knowledge. It’s the flagship design class of DearDesigner—focused on building a community for solution-driven designers; getting them equipped for different career phases.
Who Can Attend
The Design Class is tailored for designers that have the knowledge of at least one design software, those who wants to learn core design knowledge and advance to the next level in their careers. It is meant for entry-level and Junior Designers.
