Design Myth Tuesday

"You must know how to draw before becoming a designer."

Not true.

Design is more about solving problems, understanding users, and communicating ideas.
Drawing can help, but it isn't a requirement.

💬 What's the biggest design myth you've heard?

To every designer figuring things out one screen at a time…

Keep going.
Your consistency will speak louder than your doubts someday. 🤍

[DesignCave @DesignCaveNGO]

We started DesignCave because learning design shouldn’t feel impossible.

Not everyone can afford expensive bootcamps.
Not everyone has guidance.
Not everyone has community.

So we decided to build one.

🤍

Our vision is simple:

To create accessible pathways for learning, mentorship, and growth for the next generation of African designers

[DesignCave @DesignCaveNGO]

DesignCave is a non-profit design community focused on helping aspiring designers learn, grow, and find direction in the design industry.
Think of it as a primary school for new designers. It started as a simple idea to introduce people to design and has grown into a community.

You opened Figma to work…

…then spent 45 minutes looking for inspiration instead. 😭

Designers, be honest.
How many tabs do you currently have open?

If you’ve been silently following DesignCave for a while…

This is your sign to finally join the community.

There’s space for beginners here too.

Today’s spotlight goes to Team Mentara — a group from one of our previous EPC cohorts.

They worked on a mental wellness app concept called Mentara . Beyond the screens, we loved seeing their teamwork, and willingness to learn.

This is what EPC is about.

Proud of Team Mentara.
