The artistic and business insight you get is highly valuable, you learn both to think from a ux design perspective but also a client/customer view that is highly important when designing.
Flaminia Ghia TrentinoUX Design Foundations Grad
I have gained a more focused understanding of UX design as well as the process involved with it.
Teodoro LeoUX Design Foundations Grad
I think the inclusive emphasis that the course makes is key in the actual context in which we, as creatives, are trying to convey new narratives, that feel more sensitive, accessible and honest.
