POINT A: Before the course, I knew nothing about web design, I had only seen short videos and program names from bloggers.I set a goal to find my first client, complete my first order, and start doing something that interests me.

POINT B: After the training, I realized that this is the best course I've ever taken, and I found something that truly interests me! Even during the project, as planned, I created a website for a client and earned my first 285 dollars from design!

MY JOURNEY: You could say that I had no knowledge at all. Initially, I thought it was difficult and, as someone who couldn't draw at all, it was scary, but I understood that there was a lot of information and now everything could be created using graphics.Therefore, design motivated me to develop and find something new. I thought the hardest part would be understanding how to put everything together, but it turned out to be easy and it's all about practice.I posted on my personal account that I had started doing design, attached examples of my work, and followers began to reach out, then clients were found through acquaintances. Now I can also write to small companies that need a website.I managed to start earning some money, not much yet, but I already have clients and I'm happy about that.I was especially proud that everything was working out. It was easy to choose colors, fonts, and understand the program.The feedback from the mentors was positive, they praised me. There was very strong support in the chat, and it was clear what to strive for.

FOR FUTURE STUDENTS: For a beginner, this is definitely the best design course. Even if just for self-development, you won't regret it! Never doubt yourself, you will succeed!

POINT A: I didn't understand which direction to take or how to proceed. My goal for the course was to learn how to earn money from my knowledge, fill gaps in graphic and web design, and become familiar with the fields of story-making and editing. I wanted to understand what suited me best.

POINT B: After the training, I finally decided on my field: web design! The most important thing that happened was that I learned how to earn money.During the course, I earned more than 430 dollars by taking on a website development project and doing small graphic design tasks. Now my monthly income exceeds 715 dollars, even though I still spend part of my time on my studies.

MY JOURNEY: When I started the course, I was 20 years old. I had a strong desire to develop in the design field!I had tried to get into design six months before Designers project, but the course didn't suit me, and I abandoned my progress in this area.I knew the basics of web design and basic settings on the Tilda platform, but I didn't know how to make money from it. I understood nothing about story-making, let alone editing.I had a little experience in design; I created a website for my sister. Looking back, I realize how poorly the work was done.After finishing the course, I was very happy!I worked hard, studied, completed all the assignments, and gave my all. There were sleepless nights, tears from exhaustion, and a lot of inspiration.There were many emotions that, combined with hard work, led to the desired outcome – I won a prize and was among the top five winners of the second cohort.The moderators, mentors, and fellow students helped me believe in myself and experience all of this.I saw my results, heard feedback from my peers, and felt proud of myself! Now my goal is to achieve a stable monthly income of over 1500 dollars and strengthen my personal brand. I'm confident that I can earn more and definitely will!

FOR FUTURE STUDENTS: I want to say that it's always worth trying!If you enjoy it and put in the effort, work hard, and give it your all, you won't have the chance to "fail."

POINT A: I started the course with fairly mediocre knowledge of Figma. I wanted to improve my skills in all programs and start earning money through design!

POINT B: Now I work easily with Tilda, and Adobe Illustrator is no longer just two scary words but a convenient tool that assists me in my work. I improved my skills in Figma to a strong professional level.During the course, I barely took on any clients, working a maximum of once every two weeks, yet I still managed to earn 285 dollars.

MY JOURNEY: During the Designers project, I realized how much time I spend on different tasks. I discovered what I like and dislike about design, and now I know what I want to focus on in my work. Also, by going through all the challenges in the course, you learn to handle any task assigned to designers. Whether it's calendars, wedding invitations, or posters with websites, you learn to do everything. When you enter the job market, nothing scares you anymore.You know you've done it all before and can handle anything.

FOR FUTURE STUDENTS: I wish everyone would take the Designers project to learn a beloved craft, enjoy it, and work for good money with pleasure!

POINT A: I joined Polina's course with absolutely no knowledge. I wanted to start earning money while on maternity leave.

POINT B: During the training, I earned my first 715 dollars. This is incredibly cool for me because I'm a mother of two and I value the opportunity to work from home with pleasure.

MY JOURNEY: At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to recoup the cost of the course quickly. But in the first month alone, I found two clients for website development!By just listening to the lectures, completing all the assignments, and following the program's conditions, I learned how to create various websites, work in Figma, and make beautiful business cards, menus, and banners.My next goal is to earn enough for a MacBook. I'm confident that I can achieve this.A huge thank you to Polina for providing such valuable knowledge for what I now realize is a very small amount.

FOR FUTURE STUDENTS: It doesn't matter what kind of phone or laptop you have. Just having the internet and any computer, you can start earning money.Don't doubt yourself, improve your skills, and enjoy your achievements.

POINT A: I had several goals, the main one being to decide what I want to do in life and where to work. I had just graduated from university during the height of the pandemic, and there were no available job openings. Although I liked my profession, my interest and enthusiasm had faded.My second goal was to start earning money from design—I achieved this goal too, but only after the course when I began looking for clients.

POINT B: I achieved both of my goals, which is amazing for me. I managed to earn around 1000 dollars, but I took a short break, so I didn't earn as much as I could have, considering the knowledge and energy I gained from the course!

MY JOURNEY: I started doing design in my teenage years, but it was just for fun, and I didn't delve deeply into it. I tried various directions with long breaks in between. I never thought about making design my career; I just enjoyed it.Initially, I wanted to focus more on editing because other niches either didn't interest me at all or I didn't like them much, such as web design. But I decided to try everything, and somehow I fell in love with web design and then graphic design! After graduating from university, I began looking for another job, and then I learned about the relaunch of the Designers project from Polina's stories. I got so excited about the idea of trying design again and learning more about this field that I eagerly awaited the announcement of the first sales.I quickly achieved this goal. At the beginning of the course, I realized that I wanted to pursue design professionally.I looked for clients in freelance chats on Telegram and on Instagram. I would message potential clients directly or offer my services for tasks they were looking to hire for, or I would redesign something from their products and offer them my version. Finally, I started getting clients whom I could close deals with. As I mentioned, design was something of a hobby for me. Now it is still a kind of hobby, but much more serious since I make money from it. I became interested in the theory behind it—where it all started and why certain things are done in specific ways. For design, it’s essential to have the right tools, a good eye (nasmotrennost'), and discipline. Without nasmotrennost', you either won’t have any ideas, or your ideas will be bad and of poor quality.

FOR FUTURE STUDENTS: In my opinion, you should take the Designers project for several reasons. The course covers various niches in design, allowing you to try each one and decide which you like and want to develop further.
