For the past 4 years, Iโve been building my own design school Hyperactive Education where we teach UI/UX design, product design, and how to build strong portfolios from scratch to advanced level

Honestly, this is one of my favorite moments in the entire process. Because this is the moment when I get to see students โbecome designersโ for the first time
They go from learning fundamentals to presenting full projects as if theyโre speaking to real clients or stakeholders.
What makes it even more meaningful is that I grow together with every cohort.
My students constantly show me what can be improved โ in the system, in the teaching, in how we structure learning. So in a way, their progress is also a reflection of my own work and my teamโs work.
Itโs a shared responsibility. And always a moment of evaluation from both sides
Today Iโm genuinely proud. I saw people who just a few weeks ago were learning basics now confidently presenting complete, thoughtful design projects.
And it never stops being emotional for me ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน

wow, that's nice
There's something great about watching diploma presentations specifically, because that's the moment students stop performing "student" and start performing "designer." Do you notice a common thing almost every cohort struggles with right before that shift clicks for them?

Hiring: UX / Product Designer (remote, ongoing)
I run Novatur Design, a product design studio based in Malta. We work with startups through to enterprise clients such as The Daily Mail, across a range of industries from EV to Crypto, Fintech to IoT.
Iโm looking for an all-round UX / product designer who can take a problem from user flows through to polished hi-fi UI. Figma, auto layout and design systems should be second nature.
This is ongoing contractor work on a monthly basis, not a one-off project. If it works well on both sides, thereโs potential for it to go full time.
Remote, so you donโt need to be in Malta. Individual designers only, no agencies please.
If youโre interested, the application takes about 6 minutes:

Love the variety of industries you work with. Sounds like an amazing opportunity for the right designer.
AI can build the UI in minutes.
Bringing it up to a good standard, still needs a designer. Agree or disagree?
I see some of your work and honestly your work is really premium ๐๐
Great job Alex๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ
Nobody wakes up excited to measure a room ๐. At least we tried to make it look good while you do it. Did we succeed?
