What our Students Say

I’ve taken a few different persona-related workshops. This one is special. Highly recommend this training for any team working on digital interfaces.

Complete eye-opener! This training helped get our team on track with personas and prepared us for a user research effort. It helped our devs and management understand and plan for how to get the most out of the field study as well as using personas more expertly afterwards. Thank you.
