I signed up for a membership about three years ago when I barely knew what UX design is. Since then, I've taken many courses which taught me the basics in a really educational way and boosted my self-confidence as designer. I often study in the evenings when I have the time or when I need to learn something new. For years I've been encouraging people I meet to sign up and try it out because I really believe that not only the relevant content but also the way course material is produced holds an excellent quality.
I also attended couple of IDF meetups and got in touch with really interesting people (back in the times when meeting in person was "legal"). I am currently just one step away from being hired as a UX designer and IDF courses have contributed a great deal to my level of knowledge.
Hi Katarina,
It's wonderful to come across such a fantastic and heartwarming review! This has been precisely the mission we've been working on since 2002: Democratize education by providing top-quality, online design courses at a fraction of the cost of traditional education. Success cases — such as yours, fuel the fire in our team to facilitate learning and career advancement. We're very proud of our work, and we're continually improving.
Congratulations on the great effort and commitment you have made this far. I'm sure that your reward will come soon!
Warm regards,
Rikke Friis Dam of the Interaction Design Foundation
