Our Learning Approach

We believe in hands-on learning that mirrors real client projects. Each module builds on practical experience while developing the critical thinking skills you need.

Project-Based Foundation

Start with actual client briefs from our archive. You'll tackle the same challenges we've solved for startups and established companies across Japan's mobile market.

Iterative Design Process

Learn through multiple design iterations with detailed feedback. Each project goes through at least three revision cycles, just like professional client work.

Peer Collaboration

Work alongside other learners in small groups. Design isn't a solo activity — you'll practice presenting ideas, receiving critique, and building on others' concepts.

Industry Mentorship

Get guidance from professionals currently working in mobile design. They'll share what's actually happening in the field, not just textbook theories.
