they nailed it

MOBILE DESIGN

"I am from Mariupol. I was there face to face with the war. There was nothing I could do to keep the occupiers from stationing their tanks on my streets. Your assignments helped me to distract myself and immerse myself in work. Web design became a revelation and a whole new space for me to explore my creative potential"

Olha Petrova

Motion Design

"I have a bachelor's degree in technical translation. However, I never wanted it. It took me four years to find my calling. Graphic design captured my heart from day one. I have to keep living for those who are no longer alive"

Maria Morgunova

Motion Design

"Before the full-scale invasion, I was an illustrator at the Kyiv Academic Theater of Drama and Comedy. During the war’s first month, I realized there was still a lot to learn. Now, I want to study motion design to pursue a career as a video game & animated film concept artist and to bring my illustrations to life"

Maryna Konstantinova

MOBILE DESIGN

"Now, I should do everything I can to prevent Russians from taking away my last dream of studying and working in the design industry"

Tetiana Zakopailo

IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT

"Immediately following the attack and fire at the nuclear power plant, my son and I left our hometown of Zaporizhzhia. I wanted to defend  my son. I lost my job and realized I needed further training in my field, so now I'm looking for work in IT"

Yuliia Koznova

Motion Design Beginning

"This course helped me achieve my goals: I learned how to work with After Effects, animate illustrations, and design interfaces. It gave me a solid foundation to pursue a career as a motion designer. Now I’ve got all the essential skills to create quality videos and enter the profession. It is a great result, and I owe it all to the comprehensive education I received during this course. Thank you!"

Nadiia Herasymenko

Graphic Design Beginninng

"It was an efficient and impressive course. The best part is that you focus on theory during lectures rather than just learning to use Illustrator. If you need to master the program, a separate video course is available. Then, you can jump right into practice and webinars that were pure art to me. Curators, managers, and communication are high-level!"

Sofiia Syniaieva

Graphic Design Beginninng

The course was highly beneficial, with a productive, enjoyable, and stimulating learning process. The mentor provided exceptional support to help students reach their project’s best potential. The engaging, creative homework provided valuable experience working with an actual client, and my portfolio is now well-stocked. Overall, I am highly impressed with this course as it fostered my passion for design and an eagerness to progress.

Targeting

During the Targeting course, it was clear that the team behind it was highly professional. Every class was well thought-out, with high-quality material, a clear presentation, and useful links. I appreciated the opportunity to work on a real case and practice what we learned. The easy delivery and excellent visuals made the course accessible and stress-free. I learned so much, and I'm super grateful for this great experience!

Lora Trembich

Targeting

I found the course to be incredibly practical and helpful! All the provided materials were super useful. The lectures were presented clearly, using real-life examples and detailed explanations of advertising tools. During the practical classes, the curator was attentive to everyone and always answered our questions. The teaching style was concise, straightforward, and effective. Overall, I have a really positive impression of the course.
