About Latticework

Raising the bar
on practical learning
for working professionals.

We started Latticework in 2021 because every option in adult professional learning was bad in a different way. Bootcamps were too long. MOOCs were too lonely. Conferences were too shallow. We wanted something that respected your time. And didn't insult your intelligence.

Founder note

A note from Daniel.

I spent eleven years as a product lead. Stripe, then a stint at The Browser Company. Every team I joined, the conversation about training was the same: "we should send people to a course," followed by silence, followed by a Coursera link.

Nobody finished those courses. The people who got better at their jobs got better by sitting next to someone good. Apprenticeship at scale was the unsolved problem.

"The people who got better got better by sitting next to someone good. We're trying to bottle that. Without losing the part where the senior person actually shows up."

Latticework is our attempt to bottle that. Without losing the part where the senior person actually shows up. We cap cohorts. We pay instructors well. We charge real money, because if a course is free, nobody finishes it.

If you're a senior practitioner who wants to teach, we want to hear from you. If you're a working professional looking to level up, we'd be glad to have you in a cohort.

Daniel Reyes, co-founder & CEO

How we pick instructors

Three rules we don't bend.

A lot of online education is content marketing in disguise. Latticework instructors are working practitioners first, teachers second. These are the three filters we run every applicant through.

Rule 01

Still in the work, this year.

Every instructor we accept is currently practicing. Shipping product, writing code, designing, leading teams. No professional speakers. No one whose last hands-on role was five years ago.

Rule 02

Can teach a critique.

We don't hire instructors who only know how to lecture. The job is reading a student's draft, telling them what's wrong, and helping them fix it. That's the rare skill.

Rule 03

Cap of one cohort per term.

We pay our instructors enough that they can't justify running four cohorts a year. One per term keeps the work fresh. And keeps every student getting their actual attention.

About this design template

Latticework Learning is an online learning design template.

This is a design template that shows how Albertson Designs approaches academic websites. The structure, photography, typography, and copy were built around how a real academic business actually operates. Generic about-services-contact patterns are not here.

When Albertson Designs builds your site, we use designs like this as a reference for color, structure, and category vocabulary. Every line of code, every photo, and every word is custom for your business. Most full builds ship in four to eight weeks depending on scope.
