I learned so much about Figma in, like, a 14-hour time period. It was like the crash course I never had, that I always needed!

I didn’t know much about UX design going into the weekend, but I learned so much! UX Fest felt like a wonderful space to learn in and ask questions without fear of judgment. I’d 100% encourage anyone with any amount of interest to give UX Fest a try! You never know if it will peak your interest and inform your future career :)

My favorite part was the showcase where competing teams show their prototypes. It was interesting to see how different teams approached the same prompt.

I had a blast creating a prototype for a local organization with my friends! The collaborative environment helped us work quickly and improve our designs based on feedback. UXF is an amazing crash course in UX with awesome teammates and mentors.

Being able to make connections with people in the industry, I thought, was really valuable, especially as someone who was looking for a job right out of college.

I loved UXF for the Learn by Doing experience and exposure into the UX community. I loved that my team had 4 people with all different majors so it gave me the confidence that people from non-traditional backgrounds can succeed in UX too!
