This portfolio-focused program, developed by Gubry in New York City, masters the essential human element of design strategy.
It is specifically designed for designers who want to strengthen their strategic thinking, refine their visual language, and work with the intentional clarity that AI cannot replicate.
The program moves beyond automated outputs by centering on how design decisions are made—teaching the hierarchy, systems, and visual logic required to shape meaning, insight, and genuine connection.
Designers explore typography, information architecture, branding systems, and design thinking through carefully constructed design problems that emphasize structure, reasoning, and communication.
Structured as a guided, studio-style experience, each module builds toward a final capstone thesis project that demonstrates a thoughtful, human-centered process—a portfolio piece suitable for any professional setting.
Our program is designed around a principle of guided self-mastery—you will not just consume information; you will actively build your own body of professional knowledge.
SELF-DIRECTRED, GUIDED RESEARCH
We encourage the strategic utilization of all available resources—from AI-driven tools and industry platforms like YouTube and Google to foundational books and academic research.
FACILITATED LEARNING
PRACTICAL & PORTFOLIO-FOCUSED
Gubry’s expert practitioners serve as guides and mentors, not merely instructors.
We provide the critical frameworks and one-on-one guidance necessary to distill vast information, test hypotheses, and internalize principles, ensuring that every concept is made truly your own.
Every module is intensely practical, culminating in a Capstone Thesis that is ready for a professional portfolio, demonstrating your ability to execute strategically.
