Junior designers
I am very happy that I decided to invest in this course. It really helped me to get an overview of how the process of creating a user experience works and how to deal with it systematically.
At first, I was skeptical of whether the course was appropriate for me, as I am not a designer. Now I understand users better, and do my job better because of it. Highly recommended – also for those who work in marketing and development.
The course was definitely one of the highlights of the year for me. The perfect mix of theory and practice - more practice than you'd think! And the result is my own app. Don't doubt in yourself, if you aren't yet a skilled designer. Let go!
