How Path Unbound Stands Out
1
Women Designer - Founded
Are you aware that less than 1% of design schools are founded by women and less than 3% of design schools are founded by designers? We are proudly diversifying design education and championing under-represented voices.
2
Well-Trained Expert Instructors
Our instructors are professional, working designers with outstanding portfolios. We expertly-vet and train each one to ensure top-quality instruction for all our courses. Our instructors don’t just do design well, they teach design even better.
3
College-Level Extensive Curriculum
Most bootcamps are limited in their scope, and don’t include comprehensive visual design foundational approaches. We’re teaching you it all—soup to nuts at college level! You will never have to take another course to fill in knowledge gaps.
4
Portfolio-Obsessed
We provide individualized and rigorous portfolio coaching to make sure each of our graduates come out of the course with outstanding portfolios that immediately “wow” hiring managers and land jobs.
5
Flexible but Structured
Our curriculum is flexi-paced, which means you have the flexibility to learn at your own schedule but with accountability to finish on time so that you can launch your dream design career sooner.
6
Student-Obsessed
We have dedicated student advisory sessions every couple of weeks to ensure every student is on track and can get any problems resolved quickly. We are “student-obsessed” but in a healthy way.
Student Work and Success Stories
Take a look at some of the high-quality designs our students have produced and the stories behind them. By learning design at Path Unbound, you can expect results on this level and beyond.
