I wanted to create a place where you don't need permission to start working.
Real briefs. Real deadlines. Real challenges.
You take on the work. You deliver. You earn your rank.
No gatekeeping. No waiting for someone to give you a chance.
Just you, the work, and what you can prove.
Ready to step in?

I've been in design communities before, but this is the first one where I can actually see my progress. The belt system makes it real.
Darius Fen
UI Designer
Finally, a community with actual structure. I know exactly where I am and what I need to do next. No more endless scrolling.
Arden Mira
Creative Director
The bounties give me real projects to work on. Not tutorials. Not courses. Actual work that goes in my portfolio.
Eira Thorne
Graphic Designer
Having my rank visible keeps me accountable. I don't want to stay at Yellow Belt, so I keep showing up and doing the work.
Jonas Keller
Brand Designer
I'm not just learning alone anymore. Everyone here is working toward their next belt. It pushes you forward.
Sofia Arendt

Three months in, I went from White Belt to Green Belt. My portfolio actually has work in it now. Interviews feel different.

BEFORE YOUR ENTER
YOU SHOULD KNOW
What exactly is Design Jutsu?
A design community where your work earns you XP and your progress is tracked through belt ranks—White Belt to Black Belt 5th Dan. Think martial arts meets design: clear structure, visible growth, real work that matters.
What makes this different?
Most design communities have no structure—just endless channels going nowhere. Here, your progress is measured. You have a clear path. You earn ranks through real work. Structure creates discipline. Discipline creates growth.
I'm a beginner. Can I still join?
Yes. Everyone starts at White Belt. The work scales with your rank. Beginners get beginner-level challenges. Advanced designers get advanced work. You grow at your pace, surrounded by others on the same path.
How much does it cost?
Free to join. When paid work from companies becomes available, we take a small platform fee on completed projects. The community, challenges, and progression system remain free.
How does the belt system work?
You start at White Belt. Every project completed earns XP. As XP accumulates, your belt rank rises—Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Brown, Black. Your belt shows your journey. It's earned, not given.
What kind of work will I actually be doing?
Design challenges that sharpen your skills. Real projects that build your craft. Community work that pushes you forward. Later, paid work from companies. You start immediately—no waiting until you "feel ready."
How much time do I need to commit?
Free to join. When paid work from companies becomes available, we take a small platform fee on completed projects. The community, challenges, and progression system remain free.
What happens after I join the waitlist?
You'll receive an email when we launch in February 2025. The first 200 members become founders—bonus XP, founding badge, your name in the permanent records. You're not just joining. You're building this with us.
