About Our Mission

We're passionate educators, industry professionals, and creative innovators dedicated to transforming how design skills are taught and learned in Sri Lanka's growing digital landscape.

Our Story

Founded in 2023, Design Courses emerged from a simple observation: while Sri Lanka's tech industry was rapidly expanding, there was a significant gap between the design education available and what companies actually needed from their creative professionals.

Our founders, having worked at leading design agencies and tech companies globally, recognized that traditional education wasn't keeping pace with the evolving demands of user experience design, interface development, and strategic design thinking.

We built this platform to bridge that gap – creating courses that combine academic rigor with real-world application, ensuring our graduates don't just understand design theory but can immediately contribute to meaningful projects that impact thousands of users.
