Being part of a small, tight-knit community of inquisitive classmates and passionate teachers, has really transformed my experience and understanding of design. The UI program has both taught me the technical and soft skills necessary to exceed in my endeavours, and has helped set me up for future successes through workshops, community projects etc. RED and particularly the UI program, really created a safe space for all of us to learn, grow and fail all at once – helping us to continuously challenge ourselves.
