We’re introducing a new bootcamp at Dev & Design designed for people who want to move from ideas to building real, functional products that can stand on their own in the real world.
The 8weeks program is structured into two tracks that work independently but complement each other:
Builder Track is focused on taking an idea from idea to product.
Founder Track is designed for people who already have a product or are actively building one and want to turn it into a business. It focuses on how to position the product in the market, build distribution channels, generate revenue, and gain global founder opportunities.
The bootcamp is built to support both early-stage builders and those ready to think at a business level.
Registration is now open for enrolment into either track.

Looking for the next Design to MVP cohort?
You won’t find it.
Because it’s no longer called Design to MVP.😆
The program has evolved into the Builder Track within our new Ship & Found Bootcamp And The mission remains the same:
Take an idea and turn it into a real, functional product But now it sits within a larger ecosystem designed for both builders and founders.
So if you’ve been waiting for the next Design to MVP intake, this is it.
It’s simply grown into something bigger.
Comment BUILD and I’ll send you the details privately.

Day one of my webinar with @devanddesignhq Design Students and I covered introduction to the pen tool. I had fun teaching the basics of the pen tool and tomorrow I'll be teaching them a bit on illustration. ☺️
I built a personal finance app from scratch and it’s actually fun to use 🤩🤩
🕺🕺 Guys….. Meet “Smart Spend”, a Nigerian expense tracking application which I use to track my daily and monthly expenses.
First deployment Task from @devanddesignhq@Joe_brendan_
Have you ever wondered where your time actually goes each day?
For my @devanddesignhq bootcamp capstone project, I built InterLog.
A reflection-first time tracker that helps you log activities, reflect on your days, discover patterns, and get AI-powered insights.
The Pen Tool humbled me this week.
Icons → manageable.
Illustrating a full face → chaos.
Patience isn't optional in design. It's the whole job.

What if the biggest thing stopping you isn't a lack of skill?
Many people already know enough to start building something today.
The challenge is rarely a lack of information. More often, it's a lack of structure, accountability, and a clear path from idea to execution and that's why so many promising ideas never move beyond into finished plans
The gap between having an idea and launching a product isn't always talent, it's having the right environment, guidance, and process to help you move forward consistently.
That's the gap Ship & Found was designed to address.
Comment BUILD if you're ready to stop sitting on ideas and start working on them.
What's the difference between a builder and a founder?
A builder asks:
"How do I build this?"
A founder asks:
"How do I get people to pay for this?"
Both questions matter.
But One creates products and The other creates businesses.
That's why Ship & Found has two tracks designed for both stages of the journey.

Why do some people launch products while others spend years learning?
A lot of people think that its a difference of skill and years of experience but the difference is that builders prioritize execution even while learning over preparation.
Builders are willing to test ideas, make mistakes, get feedback, and improve as they go.
While others are waiting to feel "ready," builders are already shipping.
In today's tech landscape, opportunities often go to those who can turn ideas into products not just those who know the theory.
Comment BUILD if you're tired of staying in learning mode and you're ready to start building.
Why do some average products grow faster than better ones?
It is not about the product itself. It is about how the market perceives it.
Market value is not only created by features or quality. It is created by perception, clarity, timing, and how well your product is understood in a crowded space.
And clarity comes from understanding how to position, communicate, and place your product where it can be seen.
Dev & Design exists for that transition from Confused founder, to someone who understands how to bring a product into the market and grow it intentionally.
Link in our bio for more information.
If you launched your product today, would anyone actually see it?
Most people assume being a founder is just about building the product itself, but the real challenge is distribution.
Because once your product exists, the next question is not “does it work?”
It is “how do people find it?”
The market does not reward the best product. It rewards the most visible one that communicates its value clearly enough to earn attention.
Ship and found bootcamp helps you go from building in isolation to building with visibility and intention so your work doesn’t just exist, it gets discovered.

What if your product isn’t failing because it’s bad… but because no one understands it?
A product only creates value in the market when people can immediately understand what it does, who it is for, and why it matters in their world and without that clarity, even strong products struggle to gain traction.
And that’s where positioning quietly becomes the real work after building, When positioning is clear:
* People instantly understand your product
* Your value is easier to communicate
* Your product becomes easier to adopt
The ship and found bootcamp is built for this exact reason, not just helping you build products, but helping you understand how to position and communicate them in a way the market responds to.

This isn’t only for engineers.
New data on AI-first startups shows that small teams are now able to generate significant revenue per person because AI helps them build and scale faster with fewer people.
If you are a marketer, product manager, or industry expert, AI gives you the ability to remove technical barriers, build MVPs without coding, and automate key parts of launching and growing a product.
We will be sharing the system/Bootcamp that helps solo founders and small teams move faster and build with more independence.
A few years ago, building a startup meant finding a designer, hiring a developer, raising capital, and spending months of sometimes years bringing an idea to life.
Today, the rules have changed.
With the right AI workflows, one person can research, design, build, launch, and validate a product faster than ever before.
At Dev & Design, we're exploring what this shift means for builders, founders, creators, and anyone who wants to turn ideas into real products.
Something exciting is coming.
And if you've ever wanted to build, launch, or grow a product of your own, you'll want to watch this space.🎊✨
