great teacher
Un curso muy bueno, 100% recomendado, Silvia explica muy bien como es el proceso del surface design. Deben de tener en cuenta que no es un curso básico, es mejor verlo teniendo ya las bases de como se hacen los patrones y las técnicas de este. Además que es un curso que se basa en proyectos in house o para clientes.
Maravilloso
