I didn’t know anything about UX/UI before joining, but this program really helped me learn a lot. It’s a great skill to add as a graphic designer, and I’m glad I took the leap. It was a bit intense at times—you really need to stay on top of the lectures and assignments—but it’s worth it. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to learn something new and useful for their future.

Dina Rifai

I'm in my fifties and hadn't worked in twenty years. Now I'm a UX/UI designer." The program was sometimes overwhelming, but included practical training that actually prepared us for real work in a competitive field. Before I even graduated, I landed my first freelance project. I was solving actual problems for real people and getting paid for my expertise. If you're sitting there thinking you're too old or too far behind, stop overthinking it. Just start
