Throughout the course, I had the invaluable opportunity to collaborate with a group of exceptional designers and mentors.
This experience has been profoundly enlightening, equipping me with the direction and mindset necessary for advancing towards a more senior designer.
Yutong and Yunan are some of the most caring and approachable mentors I have ever met, they are willing to invest the time to help us succeed and are always super prepared.
I found so much inspiration from the course materials and small group discussions. Would 100% recommend it for anyone who is looking to become the next level designer!
