The Foundry waitlist crossed 250 designers in 24 hours. These were the five things they kept saying.

The Foundry waitlist crossed 250 designers in 24 hours. These were the five things they kept saying.

You’ve been learning UI/UX from scattered YouTube tutorials for two years and you still can’t tell if you’re actually any good.

Everyone’s talking about AI in design and you feel behind. You don’t have a real workflow yet.

Your portfolio has decent projects but you don’t know how to write the case study that gets interviews.

You see designers making ₹22L+ at product startups and you’re stuck at ₹6L doing client UI work.

College taught you tools, not taste. You know it. You just don’t know who to ask.

Then Foundry is for you.

Six weeks of structured, opinionated, no-fluff curriculum built around how senior designers in 2026 actually think, ship, and get hired.
