The course is aesthetically beautiful and the teacher transmits the subject at a good pace. I enjoy a lot when she uses examples to make it easier for us to grasp some subjective concepts of storytelling and its application to UI/UX. Although it's a short course, I liked a lot the idea of developing a project to apply everything we gathered during the classes. It helps a lot students to build a portfolio.

El contenido del curso es más que enriquecedor, no me parece que esté al nivel de principiante sino que entrega una perspectiva nueva con la que complementar a los más nuevos o redescubrir el diseño UX/UI para los más veteranos.
Excelente opción de compra si estás en un bloqueo creativo o quieres explorar nuevas formas de diseñar.
