Koalia is a UI/UX bootcamp Julien started: eight weeks, live, taught by him alone, for engineers, designers and founders moving into product design. The first cohort ran in 2026.
He built the school end to end: the curriculum, the brand, the website, the applications, the certificates. The site is itself a design lesson, a canvas of frames you can flip between wireframe and mockup.
