About

I help people move from overthinking to designing, building and shipping. I’m Christine Vallaure, founder of moonlearning, a learning platform for UI design, Figma, and product building. It’s for designers who want more than polished screens, who care about how things actually work, and who are ready to build and ship real products themselves. I’m also the author of theSolo.io, a practical guide to building and running digital products as a company of one with full agency.I believe in skills, knowledge, and craft, and I’m allergic to hype. Alongside my own projects, I speak at international conferences about independent product building, design–dev collaboration, and how new tools, including AI, are changing who gets to build and ship. I’ve spoken at events like (2x) Figma Config SF, (5x) SmashingConf NY, London and Amsterdam, UX London, Beyond Tellerrand Berlin, and Awwwards. I’m also an Awwwards Jury Member. I’m based in Madrid and work, present and teach in English, German, and Spanish. 👉 If you are or want to become a designer who wants more independence, more leverage, and fewer half-finished ideas, you’re in the right place. Hit Follow. When you are ready to go further, here are a few ways to explore my work: 🔹 moonlearning.io → practical courses on UI design, Figma, and product building 🔹 theSolo.io → my book on building digital products independently 🔹 moonlearning.io/speaking → keynotes and workshops at international conferences 🔹 PrettyCheapHouses.com → a side project exploring affordable homes with renovation potential 🔹 moonlearning.io/newsletter → a free newsletter with lessons, insights, and tools I don’t share elsewhere
