Step 5 — Build one thing publicly
Not a tutorial. Your own thing. A landing page.
Post it. This is your proof.
The designers earning from both worlds aren’t smarter. They just started building earlier.
Save this. Start today.
HOW TO TRAIN LIKE A SERIOUS DESIGNER
1. Design every day (30–60 mins minimum)
Not motivation. Just routine.
2. Copy great designs first
You learn structure, spacing, and hierarchy faster.
3. Redesign real products
Banks, crypto apps, dashboards, landing pages.
4. Study UX thinking, not only visuals
Flows, problems, decisions, usability.
5. Track your progress weekly
One improvement every week = massive growth in 1 year.
Reality note:
Consistency for 6 months beats talent for 6 days.
Day 13 insight and takeaways
Book: Alchemy
Santiago discovers that not everyone journeys the same way some people chase wisdom through pages, others through life itself. Both paths teach, but in different languages.
Santiago realizes that while knowledge is important, it becomes powerful only when it’s lived. Experience turns information into understanding.
He begins to see that every person he meets is a “teacher,” offering a glimpse into a truth he needs for his own journey.
Sometimes clarity comes not from having all the answers, but from staying open enough to recognize the signs pointing you in the right direction.
