Why I Continue to Recommend Skillshare—for Designers at Every Career Stage
I started teaching on Skillshare in 2017 with my first course. Since then, a few of my classes have become top-performing—but I want to be clear: I am still a full-time, practicing architect.
That balance is intentional. Teaching keeps me sharp, but learning keeps me competitive.
I actively take dozens of Skillshare courses myself—across design, creativity, visualization, and emerging tools—because staying current is not optional in today’s industry. Continual skill development has directly contributed to my career growth, leadership opportunities, and promotions, allowing me to bring stronger ideas, workflows, and confidence to my teams.
Why Skillshare makes a real difference professionally
Research and platform surveys consistently show that:
- A majority of learners report improved job prospects after completing Skillshare classes
- Many professionals credit continuous learning with helping them take on leadership roles and contribute more strategically to teams
- On-demand learning leads to higher skill retention because designers can apply lessons immediately to real projects
From experience, this tracks. Skillshare is not passive content—it is an on-demand knowledge base you can tap into exactly when a project, role, or opportunity demands more from you.
Even though I operate my own education platform, I continue to value Skillshare for one key reason: community. The feedback, interaction, and shared momentum among designers on Skillshare creates a level of support and connection that is genuinely unique.
Why I recommend Skillshare to designers
- Learn at your own pace while working full time
- Stay competitive with evolving tools and workflows
- Strengthen creative thinking and technical confidence
- Grow into leadership by bringing more value to your team
