Company History

Design Academy was founded in 2018 by a group of passionate designers and educators who saw a need for more accessible and industry-relevant design education. We started as a small online learning platform offering a few introductory courses in graphic design and web design.

Over the years, we have grown significantly, expanding our course offerings to include UI/UX design, motion graphics, and other emerging design disciplines. We have also built a team of experienced instructors and industry experts who are committed to providing our students with the highest quality education.

In 2020, we launched our first certificate program, providing students with a structured learning pathway to acquire in-demand design skills. The program was a huge success and helped many of our students launch successful careers in the design industry.

Today, Design Academy is a leading provider of online design education, serving students from around the world. We are committed to continuing to innovate and improve our courses and programs to meet the evolving needs of the design industry.

Looking forward, Design Academy aims to establish partnerships with leading design firms to offer internships and job placement opportunities to our graduates. We also plan to expand our curriculum to include specialized courses in areas such as 3D modeling, animation, and virtual reality design.
