Where Design Meets Purpose

We started Connectsenseflow because we noticed something missing in tech education. Too many programs focus on tools and frameworks, but forget the human side of design. Real front-end work isn't just about making things look good — it's about solving problems people actually have.

Our Beginning

Back in 2019, I was working at a design agency in Taipei when I realized how many talented developers were struggling with user experience principles. They could code beautifully, but their interfaces felt disconnected from real user needs.

That's when we decided to create something different. Not another coding bootcamp, but a place where technical skills and human-centered thinking come together. We wanted students to understand both the "how" and the "why" behind great front-end development.

What started as weekend workshops in a small co-working space has grown into comprehensive programs that blend technical training with design thinking, user research, and practical business understanding.

What Drives Us

  • Learning by Making

    We believe the best way to understand front-end development is through real projects. Students work on actual client briefs, not hypothetical exercises.

  • Individual Growth

    Everyone learns differently. Our programs adapt to different learning styles and career goals, whether you're switching careers or advancing in your current role.

  • Honest Feedback

    We give direct, constructive feedback because that's how you improve. Sugar-coating doesn't help anyone build better skills or confidence.

  • Industry Connection

    Our curriculum reflects what's actually happening in Taiwan's tech scene. We maintain relationships with local companies to keep training relevant.

How We Teach

1

Foundation Building

We start with core web technologies and design principles. No assumptions about prior knowledge — everyone gets a solid base to build on.

2

Project-Based Learning

Students tackle real design challenges while learning new technologies. Each project builds complexity and introduces industry-standard tools.

3

Portfolio Development

By program completion, students have a collection of work that demonstrates both technical skills and design thinking to potential employers.

4

Career Preparation

We help students prepare for job interviews, freelance opportunities, or advancing in their current roles with practical career guidance.

Our Promise

We're committed to providing education that actually prepares you for real work in front-end development. That means staying current with industry trends, maintaining small class sizes, and focusing on skills that employers in Taiwan value.

Our next comprehensive program begins in August 2025. We're currently accepting applications for students who want to combine technical skills with user-centered design thinking. The application process includes a brief portfolio review and conversation about your goals.
