With KiCAD and dirt-cheap PCB manufacturing, the PCB design is just a matter of starting with something simple. It took me a (long) evening to go from nothing to an VGA I2C Atari joystick controller board. [1]

Once you've got the hang of it, more complex PCBs aren't really that much different.

I started with double-sized PCBs, but 4-layer PCBs are now almost equally cheap, which makes routing a lot easier too.
