What's Your Design Challenge?

Maybe you've built websites that look great on desktop but fall apart on mobile. Or perhaps your layouts work perfectly until someone adds content that's longer than expected.

Here's what we've learned after years of fixing broken designs: the real skill isn't memorizing CSS properties. It's understanding how users actually interact with websites and building systems that adapt.

Instructor Kai Brunsen

Instead of teaching you to copy existing designs, we'll walk through the decision-making process that leads to resilient, user-focused websites. You'll see how small changes in approach can prevent the most common design failures.

Mobile-First Reality

Most web traffic comes from mobile devices, but many designers still think desktop-first. We start with constraints and build up, creating designs that work everywhere.

Performance Matters

Beautiful designs mean nothing if they take forever to load. Learn how design decisions directly impact site speed and user experience.

Content Flexibility

Real websites have unpredictable content. Build layouts that handle varying text lengths, image sizes, and changing requirements gracefully.

Learning Through Problems

Each session starts with a real design problem. Maybe it's an e-commerce site where product cards break on different screen sizes. Or a blog where long headlines create layout chaos.

You'll work through the problem step by step, understanding not just what to do, but why certain approaches work better than others.

Testing What Actually Works

Theory only goes so far. We spend significant time testing designs across different devices, browsers, and user scenarios. You'll see firsthand what breaks and what holds up.

This includes accessibility testing, performance audits, and real user feedback sessions that reveal gaps between designer intent and user reality.

Build Your Portfolio Through Real Projects

You'll complete five substantial projects during the program, each addressing different aspects of responsive design. These aren't tutorial follow-alongs – they're unique challenges that require problem-solving and adaptation.

Past participants have built everything from restaurant websites with complex menu layouts to portfolio sites for photographers with unique image display requirements.

The program runs for eight months, starting October 2025, with weekly sessions and ongoing project feedback. Applications open in August for the fall cohort.
