Christopher Nguyen — Co-Founder
I went from 0 experience to Head of Design in 4 years Then, in 2020, I quit But, I wasn't ready to give up on UX Working with 100s of designers, I saw most designers are in someway self taught. Thinking back to my non-linear & uncomfortable journey of: – fired (multiple times) – jobless with 0 savings – broke in a foreign country – overworked, over-titled, under-fulfilled Somewhere in between all of that, I realised: Most designers don’t fail because they’re untalented. They struggle because there’s no clear path in figuring out their craft, their career, and their calling. And most UX education is incredibly expensive, lack accessibility, and real-world practicality I had a hypothesis Designers craved for education that: 1) cuts to the core 2) applies to every day scenarios 3) real examples from real experience So, I started an experiment in mid 2020 The results were pretty phenomenal, we grew 1400% in one year It was clear people valued UX Playbook That’s why I’m here—doing my part to be useful for designers dealing real constraints 3 pillars to my mission: 𝟭. 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 — 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼? Your ability to execute Your skillstack Your taste Helping you: – build real, usable skills – understand why frameworks work – become more self-reliant as a designer Through stories, breakdowns, & practical plays. 𝟮. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 — 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿? Great designers don’t just design well. They build leverage in/outside their orgs. Helping you: – earn trust – communicate clearly – navigate stakeholders – create impact that’s visible So your work doesn’t just ship, it matters. 𝟯. 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱? This is the part no bootcamp talks about. The quiet questions: – who am I without my title? – what does “success” actually mean to me? – what kind of life am I building through this career? My aim is to creates space for that reflection. Not with answers. But with courage.
