Critique on your actual work

Every week a mentor marks up what you made — specific, numbered, and fixable by Friday.

A cohort that ships together

A private community of peers at your level — accountability partners, crit circles and in-person meetups.

What changes after
eight weeks.

From the last three cohorts — in their own words.

“

I’d done three courses before this one. Kiln was the first where someone actually tore my work apart — kindly — every single week. Two months later I had a case study I was proud to send.

Daniel Reyes

Product Designer, Lumen

Before Kiln: visual designer

“The live crits changed how I present work. My manager noticed in the first month.”

Leo Hartmann

Senior Designer, Parallel

Before Kiln: mid-level designer

“Five hours a week was honest. I finished while working full-time with a newborn.”

Marcus Bell

UX Designer, Orbit

Before Kiln: graphic designer

Book a 15-min call with Amara

I work full-time. Can I keep up?

Yes — most of our students do. Lessons are short, the live session is recorded, and the weekly sprint is scoped to roughly two hours. Expect about five hours a week.

What level do I need to be?

Kiln suits designers with one to four years of practice, or people moving in from a nearby field like front-end, research or graphic design.

What happens if I miss a live session?

Every session is recorded and posted the same day. Your mentor still reviews your work that week, so you never fall behind on critique.

Do I get feedback on my own work?

Yes. Every week a mentor marks up the file you actually made, with specific, numbered notes you can fix by Friday.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes. You can pay $499 once, or split it into three monthly payments of $175 ($525 total) at checkout.

What if it’s not right for me?

Email us any day in the first 14 days of the cohort and we refund you in full. No forms, no awkward calls.
