Dark Mode
Workforce development company that upskilled creatives into UX designers. Founded it, filled it, got it covered in Axios.
A workforce development company I founded to upskill professionals in rural communities near mid-market cities into UX designers. The US skills gap is real — 69% of HR professionals report one — and the talent to close it already lives in these communities.
In our first year we ran 8 events with 300+ attendees across the Charlotte tech scene, then built a 12-week Intro to UX Design bootcamp — live instruction, Figma-based project work, and instructors from Bank of America, Microsoft, and Credit Karma.
