Path Unbound is a design school that helps students learn UX/UI, visual, and brand design one-on-one with expert instructors and launch their design careers within six months. Path Unbound School of UI/UX Design is a 6-8 months self-guided, comprehensive online learning program where students work with dedicated instructors to build a strong foundation in visual design and the UX process that culminates to creating standout portfolio projects. Students have the opportunity to be paired up with startup clients as part of their portfolio building process. Path Unbound School of Visual Design follows the same timeline as School of UI/UX Design, but is designed for students who are pursuing careers in branding, visual and graphic design.

Path Unbound also offers a Portfolio School program with two tracks: Express and Kickstart. The Express track helps students already proficient in design and have at least 3 projects elevate the level of their projects to reach job readiness. The Kickstart track helps students already proficient in design but without projects create the portfolio that they need to land design jobs.

    Helped me create my first design portfolio

    I joined this program after completing a Designlab and a General Assembly course for UI and UX respectively. However, upon completion I realized that I needed more helped with forming a cohesive portfolio. Even though I had a few portfolio pieces I really had no idea what to do with them. You can't just slap them together and hope that someone will take interest! This course broke down what a case study is. It also helped me structure my project pieces, organize my website architecture a...

    The push I needed to advance as a designer and transition my career!

    If you need a push to advance as a designer and are seeking a personalized and effective experience, I highly recommend Path Unbound! As a fashion designer transitioning her career to UI/UX design, this course was exactly what I needed to help complete the process. Having completed a Visual Design and Communications course prior to Path Unbound, I was left feeling like I needed extra guidance on re-designing & building my portfolio and my personal brand. This course covers all the es...

    I'm now proud of my portfolio!

    After completing 90% of my Designlab UX Design bootcamp, I realized I needed extra guidance creating a portfolio I'm proud of. I was specifically looking to build a portfolio of the quality I need to get the quality job I'm looking for. 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!

    Amazing programs

    In my opinion, I think Path Unbound has come up with many creative programs such as the portfolio school and design school, with multiple skills taught in them both. They cater to both eager-to-learn designers and current designers who want to improve their abilities. I would really recommend them to students looking for programs to enhance their skills.

    Comprehensive curriculum and valuable mentor feedback

    As a self-taught designer, I wanted to invest in a professional program that would give me a solid foundation of knowledge. I was debating between PATH and Shillington but Shillington was just way too expensive, intensive, and a huge commitment. I'm very glad I chose PATH because I believe it offered everything I needed in terms of solid curriculum, interesting briefs and case studies, and one-on-one mentorship while still providing the affordability and flexibility I needed to complete ...

    Life changing

    Enrolling in Path Unbound has been the smartest schooling & career decision I've ever made. I'm currently pursuing the visual design & branding + UX/UI tracks, and to my surprise, I've already landed a full junior design position at a multimedia company, even though I'm not even halfway through the program! 

    Before PU, I was working a dead end merchandising job, I knew I wanted to do design but had no idea how to get started or where I would fit into the industry. Path Unb...

    Huge help for my portfolio website building

    I was lucky to be the first cohort of pilot students to take the 6 weeks Portfolio Express course, that includes personal branding design and create portfolio website or polish your current site. It is a really GREAT experience and that was exactly what I want to learn. When you register the class, you can clear know your weekly curriculum and you go on your own pace and can go back to re-do the lessons. It also includes lots of good resources.  You can submit your progress/assignment an...

    Exactly the course I needed to build a portfolio I could be proud of

    I had learned the basics of UI Design from another program, but felt at a loss when it came to creating a portfolio without feeling like an imposter.  The Path Unbound Portfolio School turned out to be exactly what I needed to finally build a portfolio I could be proud of.  This course covers all the key elements needed to create a portfolio from scratch, from the fundamentals of Webflow, to identifying the unique qualities that make you stand out as a designer and developing your person...

    Finally stopped spinning my wheels when it comes to portfolio rebranding

    Great organization with courses that are extremely valuable for designers. While the portfolio school is geared mostly towards people relatively new in their field, it is great for both people who are just starting out, and for people who have been in their industry for some time, but want to elevate the way they present their work. 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 ...

    Couldn't have done it on my own

    I had tried for months to remake my portfolio website on my own - but I kept feeling lost, and unsure of myself, and my portfolio didn't feel like 'me'. Path Unbound was a perfect opportunity. I really enjoyed the buildup to the actual site building, which included identifying my best strengths, creating my own brand, and learning the skills needed to make something look polished. The weekly curriculum and set tasks held me accountable, and Stella had great feedback at every step. Learni...

    Love the course offerings!

    Path Unbound has a really great free design school! I love that it's self paced and also cover a wide range of design topics like typography, color, branding, as well as UI design and interaction design. There is also a unit on basics and wire-framing. I'm going to sign up for the Portfolio School next because I now have some work I'd like to get out there and start applying for jobs. Thanks Path Unbound!
