UX Engineer · Founding cohort

AI won't replace designers.
Designers who build will.

Become a UX Engineer — a designer who also ships the real front-end, with AI as your accelerator. You'll learn to design and build and understand every line, so you own more of the product than a designer ever could.

The designer's squeeze

"Looks great. Now hand it to the devs."

You design the experience, hand off the file and lose control of how it ships. Meanwhile AI can spin up a passable UI from a prompt in seconds. Design-only is the easiest layer to squeeze — and the gap between "designed it" and "shipped it" is exactly where careers are getting stuck.

Why you won't be replaced

The more of the build you own, the harder you are to replace.

Every product moves through layers — research → design → front-end → back-end → ship. AI compresses the single-layer specialists fastest. The people teams keep are the ones who own more of the chain. A UX Engineer owns design and the front-end build — and absorbs the work AI frees up instead of being the work it replaces.

Two layers. Anti-fragile.

A UX Engineer owns the seam between design and build — judgment plus execution.

AI compresses each layer. Own the seam between design and build and you own the part it can't hand off — judgment plus execution.

What a UX Engineer is

Not a designer who waits. Not a vibe-coder. An owner.

Designer alone

Hands off, waits and hopes it ships right. Owns one layer of the chain.

One layer

Vibe-coder

Prompts a UI they can't read — stuck the moment it breaks. No real control.

No control

UX Engineer

Designs it, builds it with AI and understands every line. Owns the chain.

Bikash didn't just mentor me in building products, he helped shape how I think. He encouraged me to look beyond execution, understand the real problem, and stay grounded in the user's perspective. That shift continues to influence how I approach decisions and solve problems.

Honest fit

Built for people who want to build.

This is for you if…

You're a designer who wants to own the build, not just the file
You're switching into design + dev and want both, not half
You're tired of handing off and hoping it ships right

You want a passive, watch-only video course
You're after a certificate to frame, not a portfolio
You want the skills without doing the work
FAQs

Good to know

You learn the real languages of the web — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and APIs — so you understand and control what AI generates. That's the whole point of "engineer," not "vibe-coder."

We start from design foundations and build up the languages of the web step by step. (Exact prerequisites confirmed at enrolment.)

It's the emerging design + build role teams increasingly hire for — people who can both design an experience and ship the front-end. You graduate able to do both, with a portfolio that proves it.

Plan for a few focused hours a week — enough to keep building between sessions. (Exact weekly commitment confirmed at enrolment.)

A one-time founding price for Cohort 01, including live mentorship, 1:1 reviews and your closing session. The exact figure is confirmed when you apply.

We support your job search — portfolio review, positioning and a 1:1 that maps which roles to target. We don't promise a job; we make you ready to win one.

A focused session with your mentor that reviews your portfolio and maps your next move — the roles to target and how to get there.

No pressure

Stop handing off. Start owning the build.

Every application is personally reviewed by a mentor — no bots, no pushy sales calls.

What you'll walk away with

Not a certificate. A product you designed and built.

A product you designed AND built

A real, shipped case study — not a certificate you frame and forget.

Two layers of the value chain

The hybrid design+build skill teams can't easily cut.

AI-first workflows

The tools and habits hiring teams actually use today.
