Let's meet the creator of the week!⚡
Each week, I love to introduce you to something new that you'll find valuable in some way and will help you expand your knowledge and add value to your life.
Ran Segall, a full-stack designer, is working with startups from the beginning stages of their development, outlining branding, product design, video, and investor decks. He collaborates with companies working across the B2C & B2B industries in Israel and around the world. Besides being an accomplished designer, he also hosts his youtube channel with over 270k subscribers. He shares his journey, struggles, and lessons learned on his youtube channel as he builds a successful business.
For those using quarantine for personal improvement, people who can't afford to attend a full-time Web Design course today or people who simply just want to learn a new skill, he decided to teach a free course in Web Design. Watching his playlist was the start of my web design journey as well. This course gives you a basic understanding of web design and the principles behind it. If you are a beginner or just want to get started in web design, this course is perfect for you.
There is also a playlist of videos on his channel where he reviews portfolios of other designers as well as what he finds most interesting about their portfolio and what could be easily improved on. If you need inspiration for your portfolio then this playlist is the place to go.
