Our Mission
The market for design jobs is growing faster than ever before, and there are thousands of great courses, schools, and bootcamps that teach design fundamentals and basic technical skills.
But what comes after you’ve taken a few courses, designed your first project, and gotten familiar with design tools? How do you go from proficient to job-ready when you’re all on your own?
We call this huge space between proficiency and job-ready “the gap”.
At RookieUp, our mission is to fill this gap by creating the first service that pairs aspiring designers with their own personal design mentor and support network so they don’t need to work towards their goals alone.
