Structured thinking
for interface
designers.
Hedlako started in 2020 with a straightforward problem in mind: most UI design education was either too shallow or too scattered to be genuinely useful. There were plenty of courses covering tools, and almost none teaching how to think through a design decision under real constraints.
Our seminars are built around the kind of depth that comes from working through problems out loud — with peers, with structured feedback, and with time to actually reconsider your assumptions.
The people who design the curriculum
Our program is curated by practitioners who continue working in the field — not instructors who teach from textbooks written five years ago.
The curriculum is reviewed before every new cohort. Not because it has to be, but because interface design practice changes quickly and we do not want to teach yesterday's approaches.
Geography is not a barrier — every session is designed to work equally well from Kyiv or Kuala Lumpur.
How sessions actually run
Each seminar follows a specific sequence — analysis, live debate, written synthesis — which means you leave with something more concrete than notes from a lecture.
Topic analysis before discussion
Every session opens with a structured breakdown of the design problem at hand — participants read, annotate, and arrive with formed opinions rather than blank slates. This changes the quality of conversation significantly.
Written output after every session
Discussion alone is not enough. Each seminar ends with a synthesis task — a short written reflection that forces participants to consolidate what shifted in their thinking. It is one of the formats that makes the learning stick.
What most platforms offer
- Pre-recorded video lectures with no discussion
- Large cohorts where individual questions go unanswered
- Tool-focused content that dates quickly
- Completion certificates without demonstrated thinking
What we do differently
- Live structured debate with a small group of 6–8 people
- Every participant gets direct response to their reasoning
- Focus on decision-making process, not software buttons
- Written synthesis required at each session's close
