A LIVE ONLINE DESIGN WORKSHOP BY NATE KADLAC

Stand out by unlocking your creative taste

In Approachable Design, you'll learn the fundamental building blocks of good design while creating your own style palette, leading you to make better design decisions to stand out from the sea of minimalist templates.
‍
The web might be boring, but you're not. In just two days, you'll gain the confidence to make better design decisions. You'll create a personal style palette you can use for your own website, pitch deck, or future company by learning the fundamentals of design. It's an investment in your own personal style.

The workshop is $500, and it starts on Saturday, April 10th, through Sunday April 11th. Just six spots are open for our inaugural cohort.

Who will benefit from this?

You're a creator, writer, freelancer, entrepreneur, or marketer who knows what great design looks like. But, you're unsure how to combine the right colors, shapes, and type into something beautiful that reflects your personality or brand.
‍
Simply, you love design, but you don't consider yourself a designer.

‍When you look at your own creative output, it lacks personality.

What will you learn and receive?

  • Why minimalism is not what you should aspire to
  • How to unlock your own creative taste using inside-out thinking
  • How to choose your own typeface
  • Creative guest speakers from the fashion and the fine arts industries
  • How to choose colors based on what you want someone to feel
  • How to use Figma for design
  • Apply meaningful design decisions to the real world like your website, slide decks, Twitter profile images, LinkedIn, and more!
  • Personalized design feedback on your palette at the end of the workshop
  • Access to a design community with open office hour sessions and recorded design breakdowns.

Why is design important?

Do you ever catch yourself staring at a website and wonder, “Why does this look so good?”

Design not only can look great, it's how we communicate our personality and taste without uttering a word.

Design is a superpower, which gives you an edge. Design has ROI. Design can fundamentally ooze class, it can build trust, and it can even make you hangry.
‍
I'll teach you how to unlock and apply your own creative taste, starting from the inside out. You will apply these learned principles to your own website, your business, or even your upcoming event, post-COVID of course.

Who am I?

I'm Nate Kadlac, a designer with 15+ years of experience helping grow early stage startups to working with Fortune 500 companies like Best Buy, Microsoft, and Sony.

I'm also self-taught, so I know it's possible to learn the fundamentals and apply them to any challenge going forward.
