Design is for everyone.

We believe hacking isn’t just for coders. A big part of design is hacking too—taking things apart, understanding how they work, and learning to build things yourself. Design can sometimes seem complex, subjective, and inaccessible. We created Hack Design to change that.

What is Hack Design?

Hack Design is a free, easy-to-follow design course for anyone who wants to learn. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned professional looking to explore new tools and techniques, our lessons meet you where you are.

Learn from the best

We’ve enlisted some of the world’s best designers to curate the lessons. These are the blogs, books, games, videos, and tutorials that helped them master the fundamentals of design. Each curator shares the resources that shaped their own understanding of typography, color, user experience, and more.

Learn at your own pace

Every lesson is organized into a digestible, iterative plan. There’s no rush and no deadlines. Work through the material when it fits your schedule, and apply what you learn directly to your own projects.

Our goal is simple: help you develop the skills and confidence to create beautiful, functional designs.
