WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US

“This short but insightful program gave me the opportunity to think differently not only about how we design software. but why.
I highly recommend the program to anyone who will have the chance to attend in the future!”

“The course has given me the vocabulary to articulate the importance of Artful Design. I enjoyed every moment of it and will be happy to refer back to its contents when I have a design task at hand either for work or personal life.
I'd highly recommend it to my colleagues of varied backgrounds.”

“The Artful Design course gives us the perspective to innovate and think out-of-the-box. It implies me to think how technology is slowly changing our lives over the years. As rightly quoted by Ge "What we make, makes us!"”
