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 user feedback. UXF is an amazing crash course, learning from awesome teammates, peers, and mentors.

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 :)

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!
