Build a job-ready portfolio
One really good project is better than three lousy ones. And you only need one good project to land a client.
We’ll help you create that amazing case study that you can wow your future clients.
Once you have that, you can replicate the same process to add two more case studies required to get a full-time job.

Learn how to pass the interviews
“What should I do to ace the standard UX design interviews?” We got you.
“What questions should I ask to gather all the requirements for a client project?” We’ll teach you.
“Most importantly, how should I impress the client and get paid?” No problem. We’ll show you how.

Land your next paid gig
Don’t know where to find clients?
No problem. We’ll help you source your first project.
We’ll also teach you how to network so that you can turn your next project into a full-time job.
Just knowing how to design is not enough in today’s world.
A good designer not only needs to know how to design well, but also have the soft skills to succeed.
But they don’t teach you this in school.
After reviewing hundreds of job applications, I see the same thing over and over again. Designers lack the skills to market themselves, manage projects and stakeholders, and impress their clients. And this cost them countless opportunities to land a client, make an impact and get paid.
That's why I founded Basil – to help you become the best designer you can be and show you how to turn your talent into a thriving career.
Are you ready to be transformed? I’d love to show you the way.
My background: 12+ years of experience in business, product and design. Led teams building products in B2B/SaaS, B2C/consumer, marketplace, AI platform in companies ranging from early-stage startup to unicorns like Glassdoor. Berkeley Haas MBA.

“I have received a few offers since May. I'm starting one next week and am excited to learn a lot from it.
I wanted to message you directly and thank you and your team for creating Basil; it's an incredible and creative platform and it surely has fulfilled its mission by giving us the chance to gain real-world, hands-on experience and access new opportunities.”
Ashley Yamaguchi
"While working with a team of PMs and developers, I was able to gain valuable feedback on the feasibility of my designs. Hearing my teammates perspectives was a valuable way to improve my presentation skills to cross functional teammates. It also gave me a new perspective on how non-designers will break down the screens I've created."
Kyra Catabay
“Working with a real business, being able to talk to real customers, working with developers -- having these experiences are key for interviewing and being able to draw upon stories.
In interviews, I was also able to talk about experiences with talking to customers and using a side project to further develop my UX/UI skills.”
Suki Liang
“Working on a real experience project at a startup was fantastic. It was fast-paced and challenging, but the best part was being able to connect directly with a stakeholder. Their feedback was invaluable and helped me see the bigger picture,
By combining data analysis and strategic assumptions, we could effectively guide design decisions. This approach is valuable and can be applied to future projects with limited user research time.”
Lea Zheng
“Lindsay is such a great mentor. She always responds with feedback fast. I feel supported, and learned a lot in the program. She is very patient, open-minded, encouraging, especially resourceful. She gave me tons of helpful resources in industry standards for me to learn the most in a short time. Every week there are clear steps/instructions to follow. I’m so happy to see the growth under her mentoring. Thank you Lindsay!”
Emily Walker
“One of the highlights was the collaborative spirit at the startup. Direct access to the leadership team, the CEO, CTO, and CMO, allowed for open communication and a shared vision. Witnessing how my design decisions directly impacted the company's direction was incredibly motivating.”
