By Leonardo Varrichio:
“Just like you, I was a young designer who had just embarked on my professional journey. I didn’t have industry connections, wealthy parents, or ‘supernatural talent’. In fact, I was terrible at Photoshop. I couldn’t create anything, didn’t understand internet tutorials, and didn’t have money to spend on expensive courses. But I had a lot of time and energy. And a lot of patience. That’s how I became a self-taught designer.

But I had a lot of time and energy. And a ton of patience. That’s how I became a self-taught designer. You might be able to learn how to use Photoshop on your own with the help of YouTube alone. But you won’t become excellent. And it will take you at least a few years. The problem with this is that every passing day, technology, AI tools, and more designers are also vying for audiences, brands, clients, and so on.
I lost many years without achieving results because I believed that self-learning was the only way. I was mistaken. Years later, after establishing and growing a profitable freelance service business, a marketing agency, and achieving six-figure profits, I decided to share my secrets with the world. With 2 years into this new educational endeavor, the Pig Design Club, I’ve already helped over 20,000 designers just like you”.
