Testimonials

Tisha Woods, Design Program Manager, Lyft

I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed the immersive course. As a career switcher, I liked what I’d read and heard about user experience design but didn’t know if it’d really click with me. From the career coaching to the mentorships to instructor check-ins, I had so many enriching opportunities to learn from professionals and learn about how I fit in the industry. The live calls and assignments provided a really solid foundation for design thinking and practice. The capstone project was incredible too - we were the perfect balance for a design team, and the process gave us so much valuable experience with stakeholders and design thinking.

Adriana Ferrer, UX Designer, BlueJeans

I just got an offer to work for Blue Jeans as User Designer III and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I happened to get the call on the last day of school and the offer is beyond what I’d ever thought! I wanted to reach out and thank you because this has been life changing for me! I am beyond grateful to you, She Designs and my mentors!

I am so proud to say that due to the safe, nurturing environment of this course I have not only been able to face many fears but overcome them. Learning that it's o.k and beneficial to go through an iterative process has been eye opening, and life changing for me! Thanks Sharae!

Dominique Fong, Sr. UX Writer, Google

I'm so grateful to have found SheDesigns. The community of teachers and mentors is unparalleled and made this experience the most rewarding and supportive. I want to thank Sharae for her kindness and wealth of knowledge throughout the program and most especially my mentor Lan. Lan gives such wonderful advice, support and is so incredibly knowledgeable. She helped me navigate this program and helped our group produce an incredible capstone project.

Thank you for being such a loyal supporter and open resource for me during the program. I learned a lot and hope to take my learnings with me to my new job: I will be a senior UX writer at Google!

Zennebe Arnold, UX Researcher, Curriculum Associates

This course really delivered on its promise! She Designs provided hands-on experiences with real clients, which helped me put theory into practice right away. The instructors and mentors were knowledgeable and responsive to our needs.

I am shocked that I landed a position as a UX Researcher and had an offer for Sr. UX Writer just TWO months after finishing the She Designs UX Course. I learned so much in such a short period of time. Thanks again to Sharae Gibbs for creating such an awesome and impactful course!
