Everything is designed—either for better or worse. If you don’t take a hand in it, someone else will make the decisions. We will all live with the outcomes.

Design the system that works Start here

Design for The Web

Our flagship program brings together design, programming, and the systems that connect them. You’ll learn how to think like a designer and a programmer, understand how the web actually works, and build real things — from visual design and interfaces to full-stack applications.

We’re not interested in teaching you to memorize tools that might be obsolete next year. You’ll learn the fundamentals, but you’ll also work with AI, LLMs, and emerging technologies. The more you understand, the more you can do with them. And the better you’ll be at deciding what’s actually worth doing.

You don’t need any experience to start. Complete beginners. People exploring before committing to a degree. Graphic designers learning to code. Founders. CS students. Developers exploring the visual side. People who’ve been vibe coding and want to know how it all works.

By the end, you’ll be able to:

  • Sketch, prototype, build, and deploy real projects, from front end to back end.
  • Make informed decisions about design, code, and the tools you use.
  • Debug your own work instead of guessing at the next fix.
  • Critique a design with evidence, not just preference.
  • Use AI and emerging technologies as part of your actual workflow.

Other programs open up throughout the year, some short and some for graduates.

Build better education.

Making a course is one thing. Teaching people something is another.

PE helps people design programs, courses, and curriculum — and find out whether the material actually helps people learn.

You can spend months making videos, writing lessons, and building a beautiful course. But until real people start using it, you don’t really know if it works.

Education is a team sport. A video course isn’t the same as a designed learning system, and any material is a hypothesis until people try it. Where do they get stuck? What do they misunderstand? Can they actually use what they’ve learned?

That’s the part we’re interested in.

  • Course testing

    You have a course. Our students test it, and you find out where real learners get stuck.

  • Course review

    Another set of eyes on your existing course. What’s working, what’s missing, and what could be better?

  • Course design with you

    We design the course together, from the outcomes down to the exercises.

  • A course at PE

    Building something that fits our world? Let’s talk.

For educators

Meet people through PE.

Good people can be surprisingly hard to find.

Companies get hundreds, even thousands, of applicants and still struggle to find the right person. And a good résumé doesn’t necessarily tell you how somebody works. We already know how they work — and that they can prove it.

We get to see people working through problems, collaborating, asking questions, explaining their decisions, and figuring things out when they’re stuck. Not just presenting finished projects.

That gives us a pretty good idea of what they’re capable of, and where they might fit.

We only recommend people we’d want to work with ourselves.

  • Hire from us

    Tell us what you need. We’ll see who’s available and who might be a good fit. If there’s a match, we’ll introduce you.

  • Work with us

    Workshops for your team, design system and process audits, and in-house training design.
