Skip the portfolio.
Ship the growth.

Nofolios is a 12-week online program for design students and junior designers (0 to 2 years of experience). No portfolio needed. You work on real company problems, and you pay nothing until you get a job.

Learn from designers who have done it.

Built by designers who've shipped at

We rebuilt design school, working backwards from a real job.

Other programs get three things wrong. Here is what we do instead.

The portfolio is broken.

Everyone has the same portfolio projects. Instead, we send you a real company problem and you solve it. That becomes your application, and it is what hiring managers actually want to see.

Big fees keep good people out.

Other courses charge lakhs before you even start. We charge zero until you get a job. If we do not help you get hired, you pay nothing. Simple, clear terms.

Courses have not kept up with the industry.

Today's startups want designers who can grow a product: more users, better retention, real results. Most courses do not teach this. We do, with real projects. It is the part college misses, not a replacement for your degree.

12 weeks. 4 steps. 1 job offer.

Every week you finish real work, not a lecture or a quiz. A senior designer reviews it like they would at a real job. That is how you know it is good enough.

I never built a Behance. I shipped one live brief, and that brief got me the interview. The offer came nine weeks later.

Aarav Menon

Product Designer, fintech
(Series A)

I paid ₹0 the entire residency. My first payment came after my first salary. That's the only reason I could even apply.

Diya Reddy

Designer, consumer SaaS

The reviews were brutal in the best way. A senior designer tore my work apart on a Friday night. I shipped a better version by Monday.

Kabir Shah

Growth Designer, D2C

I came in with one year at a tiny agency and zero confidence. I left with an offer at a Series B startup.

Rhea Iyer

Designer, seed startup

The AI workflows alone 10x'd my output. I demo them in interviews and watch the room change.

Vivaan Kapoor

Design Builder, fintech

The community didn't end at week 12. A warm intro from the room is how I got my second job, not just my first.

Designer, Series C startup

Our story

India did not teach growth design, so five of us built it.

A few years ago the five of us were scattered across different startups in Bangalore, all hitting the same wall. We could design beautiful screens, but the founders we worked with didn't want pretty, they wanted growth: more signups, better retention, revenue that actually moved. That discipline, growth design, was everywhere in Silicon Valley and almost nowhere in India. No course taught it. No studio practiced it by name. We learned it

How you pay: nothing until you get a job

No loans and no upfront fees. You pay nothing until you get a real job. After that, you pay a small part of your salary each month, and it stops for good once you have paid ₹2.4 lakh in total. For example, on a ₹9 lakh salary that is about ₹11,250 a month. Before you get a job, you pay ₹0.

One simple deal

₹0 upfront. Then 15% of your salary after you're hired, capped at ₹2.4 lakh.

₹0 to apply, join, and train, all 12 weeks

You pay only after you're hired and earning over ₹6 lakh a year

15% of salary for 24 months, capped at ₹2.4 lakh total

No job within 6 months? You pay ₹0.
