Nandi didn’t set out to become an educator. He studied design at a traditional school for six months, quickly decided formal education wasn’t the right fit, and chose a different path: just build cool stuff and learn that way. The turning point came in 2022, when a random post on Twitter introduced him to Framer. He started building websites for himself, then for friends, and something clicked.
Learning in public
He started posting to social media in January 2023 and hasn’t stopped since - every single day. The model was simple: go online, learn something new about Framer, then turn that learning into an educational post. People assumed he was an expert. He was actually figuring it out alongside them, one post at a time.
Building Framer University
His ambition was clear from the start: be the first to build something big in this space. Framer University grew into a hub of tutorials, components, and resources for the Framer community. The content system behind it is relentless - 20 pieces of content planned for a single week, mapped out in a Notion system, broken down into short-form videos and deep dives.
Two ways to make money with Framer
For designers looking to turn Framer skills into income, Nandi points to two clear starting points: client work for quick cash, and templates for passive reach. Templates listed on the Framer Marketplace generate views without requiring an existing audience - if the quality and offer are strong, sales follow. Client work moves faster but needs more active effort. His advice: try both, see what you enjoy.
Luck, timing, and showing up
Nandi is honest about the role of luck - he happened to scroll past a Framer post at exactly the right moment, before anyone else had claimed the space. But he’s equally clear about what luck requires: you have to be in motion. Sitting down and watching Netflix means missing the opportunity entirely. He relocated from Hungary to Dubai at 23, built a content business from scratch, and won $10,000 along the way - a surprise he was told to keep quiet. “Luck is a big factor,” he says. “But if I just sit down and watch Netflix, I’m not going to get lucky.”
