Become a job-ready junior multi-disciplinary designer.
Learn design, branding, UI/UX and video — supercharged with an AI-native creative workflow — and graduate with a real portfolio that gets you hired.
This is an AI-native track. Midjourney and Firefly accelerate ideation and visuals, and Claude assists with concepting, copy and creative direction — used thoughtfully alongside real craft. You learn to direct AI tools as a professional, not lean on them, which is exactly what modern creative studios now expect.
Who it's for
- Freshers with an eye for design who want a creative career
- Career switchers moving into design, branding or UI/UX
- Content creators and self-taught designers who want a professional portfolio
- Anyone creative and committed — no prior design degree required
Built to make you hireable
AI-native from week one
Midjourney, Firefly and Claude are woven through every week — not bolted on at the end — so you work the way modern creative teams now do.
A genuinely modern toolset
Master a focused core triad — Photoshop, Figma and Canva Pro — plus video in DaVinci Resolve, instead of dabbling in too many tools.
Choose your specialization
In the second half you go deep in one direction — UI/UX or Motion + Branding — so your portfolio shows real depth, not just range.
Portfolio + placement support
You graduate with an 8–12 piece portfolio, a real internship behind you, and dedicated placement support for up to 6 months.
