"This live course was one of the most valuable investments in my design career."

Ryan Purdy, Lead Product Designer at Vitally
“Great way to up-skill and refresh the way you approach your design career and day-to-day.”

-Nairi Nasrallah, UX Researcher at EGYM
“I really feel that I learnt more in the 6 weeks with Hannah & Jeff than I did during 3 years at University.”

-Hannah Winter, UX Designer at Cambridge University Press
“I prefer your course over NNG ones to be honest. I literally learned stuff.”

-Emre Ozocal, UX/Product Designer at Unique President
“They managed to keep the live classes engaging and fun—even after a long day at work.”

-Maureen Herben, Senior Product Designer at Zalando
“I left the course feeling 100% more confident, with a better overview of the range of possibilities for UX and UXR in my company...”

-Anna Stutter Garcia, Senior Product Designer at Babbel
“The experience of the course itself was quite impressive. It was smooth...not this ‘classroom feeling‘ where the discussion is one-sided.”

Sara Pattacini, Senior Product Designer at Adsquare
“The live workshops weren’t tiresome and I managed to stay energized thanks to Hannah’s great facilitation skills.”

-Aneta Kmiecik, UX Designer at EcoOnline Global
“I especially liked how interactive and hands-on the course was, enabling collaboration and discussions in the class.”

-Jenny Lermander, UX Designer & Researcher at Silberplus
“It's a very valuable class. I already started using what I learned with my PM and designers and the results are awesome!”

-Bassma Hefni, Product Designer at Delivery Hero
“They genuinely care about each and every one of their students and are constantly available for quick individual coaching and jolts of encouragement.”

-Carl-Adam Hellqvist, Co-Founder at Knowly
“This course affirmed for me parts of design that are very important and not taught in traditional design education...”
