Design Myth Tuesday
"You must know how to draw before becoming a designer."
Not true.
Design is more about solving problems, understanding users, and communicating ideas.
Drawing can help, but it isn't a requirement.
π¬ What's the biggest design myth you've heard?

We started DesignCave because learning design shouldnβt feel impossible.
Not everyone can afford expensive bootcamps.
Not everyone has guidance.
Not everyone has community.
So we decided to build one.

DesignCave is a non-profit design community focused on helping aspiring designers learn, grow, and find direction in the design industry.
Think of it as a primary school for new designers. It started as a simple idea to introduce people to design and has grown into a community.
