"One of the biggest advantages of the Design Sprint is having a seasoned instructor who shares his thoughts and experience of the industry, oversees my projects and provides constructive feedback helping me improve my skills.

I have also learned a lot from the feedback provided to the other members. I love to analyse their work and compare my conclusions to Martin’s and for me this is a very enjoyable way of learning.

This is my first creative community and it has given me the opportunity to share and receive opinions, experiences and insights."

"This is my first online learning experience with interactive elements. Over the past five years I have attended two different offline design courses, and despite the fact that I was physically more present on lessons, in terms of quantity and intensity I got much more from Yes I'm a Designer.

I received more constructive feedback on my work, and produced more designs that I can use in my portfolio."

Daniel

Dániel Földes | Hungary

"The courses on Yes I'm a Designer helped a lot to prepare for the Adobe Certified Professional exam. These exams require you to have real-life design experience using the applications on actual creative projects. Joining an event like the Design Sprint provides the perfect combination of live, hands-on workshops, collaborative projects and self-paced study from the Fast-Track courses.

Overall I found it fairly easy to pass on my first attempt and I am already preparing for the Illustrator and InDesign Professional exams."

"The Pro Membership has really helped me through a lot of hard times design-wise. Even just jumping into one video helps me get my creativity back. I really, really appreciate all of the added value and excellent advice they consistently add to it. It's made keeping my Pro Membership active a very easy choice!"
