Student Testimonials

The UX Design process applies to software design and any initiative that requires design thinking, such as branding and marketing. In my case, it’s beneficial for my role. Aside from designing websites, I also provide stakeholders with creative strategies for their brands and marketing agendas and lead creative teams to execute this direction.  The UX Design certification provided a deeper level of understanding of the importance of research, analyzing data gathered, and making informed decisions based on the analysis.
