Design Untethered with Penpot

Tired of paying a monthly fee just to export an SVG? Tired of your design files living on someone else's server? Tired of waking up one day to find your whole team lost access because the free tier quietly changed overnight? Switch to Penpot, the design tool that doesn't get nearly enough attention.

The design tool industry has a dirty secret. Your files, your assets, your entire creative process are locked inside a proprietary cloud you don't own. Would you be okay keeping the treasures of your mind in someone else's locker? Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD are powerful tools, no doubt. But they're also black boxes. You can't self-host them. And when the pricing changes, which it always does, you either pay up or start over from scratch.

Penpot is what design tooling looks like when you build it the open source way. Free. Self-hostable.

In this session, we skip the sales pitch and get straight to work. You'll spin up Penpot locally with Docker in minutes, get comfortable with the workspace, and walk away with something you actually built and DESIGNED! Put on the creativity hat and let yourself flow with ideas! Upwards and Onwards!

1. Your own Penpot instance: self-hosted, yours to keep and control.

2. Workspace confidence: By the end of this, you will feel confident and well-equipped in using Penpot.

3. A screen you actually made not a template, not a demo. Built by you, hands-on, during the session.

4. A clear next step: know what to learn next and where the Penpot community is.
