About Designient School of Masterminds

Redefining UI/UX education for creative minds ready to turn passion into profession.

Our Story

Designient School of Masterminds was created for learners who want more than cookie-cutter courses. We believe UI/UX is about solving real problems, crafting rich experiences, and building careers that matter. Our mission is to train designers who are confident, creative, and job-ready from day one.

Our Founder & Mentors

Designient was founded by designers who have spent years working on real products, real users, and real business problems.

With over a decade of combined experience in UI/UX, product design, and mentoring, our leadership team has guided hundreds of learners across different stages of their careers — from complete beginners to working professionals.

We built Designient to be the school we wished existed when we were starting out.

What Makes Designient Different

We don't teach design as tools or trends.

We teach design as a way of thinking.

Every concept is tied to:

  • Real-world problems
  • Industry expectations
  • Recruiter-ready outcomes

You don't just learn what to design.

You learn why it works and how to explain it confidently.

Our Approach

At Designient, learning is practice-first. You'll master user research, wireframes, visual design, prototyping and user testing with hands-on projects and real feedback loops.

Our Teaching Philosophy

We believe the best way to learn UI/UX is by doing, reflecting, and improving.

That's why our learning model focuses on:

Practice over passive watching
Feedback over perfection
Clarity over complexity
Depth over speed

Progress is measured by understanding, not completion.
