02 / 07 Brief to artifact to mentor note See the full rubric

Every week ends with something you can show.

Three links from the same chain: the brief you were given, the frame you turned in, and the note a mentor wrote back. Rubric scores are published, not implied.

Week 03 Brief: checkout audit Figma frames Portfolio: included
Mentor note

Error states now sound like a person wrote them. The gap between input rows still jumps from 12 to 20 for no reason. Pick one step and hold it across the whole flow.

Rubric 8.5 / 10 · layout and states

Week 06 Brief: booking components Variants Handoff
Mentor note

Four variants for one button is a decision, not a system. Name each state by what the user is doing, then delete the one nobody would ever press.

Rubric 9 / 10 · components

Week 09 Brief: case study Research notes Portfolio: included
Mentor note

The outcome is on page one, the process on page three. Swap them. A reviewer gives your case study about forty seconds before deciding whether to keep reading.

Rubric 7.5 / 10 · storytelling

04 / Cadence

Two live Figma labs and one critique loop every week

See the weekly briefs

Every cohort runs on the same rhythm. You arrive with the brief finished, build under a mentor's eyes, then take the critique back into the next artifact.

  1. Tuesday, 18:00 Kyiv time

    Figma build lab

    Live screenshare on frames, auto layout, component variants, and file hygiene. You build alongside the mentor, not after the call.

  2. Thursday, 18:00 Kyiv time

    Critique loop

    Three artifacts on screen per session. The mentor reads against the published rubric, names what is working, then writes the margin note you act on next.

  3. Friday, recorded

    Session recording posted

    Every live session is recorded and posted within 24 hours, with a short timestamped recap so a missed Thursday does not break your week.

Section 06 / Portfolio proof

Six artifacts from the first six weeks, each scored against the published rubric.

See rubric criteria

Scores are mentor-assigned on a 10-point rubric and reflect the latest review. Status describes portfolio readiness, not a job or income outcome.
