Reviews
Students Had Their Lives Transformed
Hear what our students have to say about Path Unbound and how studying with us changed their careers.
I was provided with an easy to follow curriculum and one-on-one sessions with an incredible industry expert. And I received consistent support during my job search. I have now landed a full-time design role at JPMorgan Chase! I highly recommend Path Unbound!
Gabriella Magamas
Fashion to UI/UX Designer
Enrolling in Path Unbound has been the smartest schooling and career decision I’ve ever made. To my surprise, I’ve already landed a full-time junior design position at a multimedia company, even though I’m not even halfway through the program!
Sydney Hartman
From Retail to Visual Designer
I had tried for months to remake my portfolio website on my own, but I kept feeling lost. Path Unbound was the perfect push I needed and I’m so glad I did it. The response I got from recruiters after I updated my portfolio was night and day. I started receiving offers. Yes, multiple!
Carina Venet
From Part-Time Illustrator to Full-Time Designer
As a self-taught designer, I wanted to invest in a professional program that would give me a solid foundation of knowledge. I’m very glad I chose Path Unbound because it offered everything I needed with affordability and flexibility. I’m now happily employed as a designer!
Parker Cho
Marketer Turned Designer
The course is demanding, but worth it! The live sessions are invaluable, since they push you forward when you are spinning your wheels and have been staring at your work for too long. Great organization with courses that are extremely valuable for designers.
Kristina Bozhanova
From Print Designer to Digital Designer
I’m so glad I gave this a shot. I needed extra guidance creating a portfolio I’m proud of. This course delivers, in a simple to follow (though not easy) process. It’s a ton of work that results in an incredible creation that gives me the confidence to apply for those dream jobs!
