Authors
Mariia Yushchuk
UI/UX Design from scratch
I teach students to argue for what decisions they made in the process. I make them gather good examples and teach them how to present their works. One important part in learning is the basic knowledge about business goals and they influence the design, and why you need to lean on your goals when choosing your ideas. When I have free time I listen to rock operas, play poker, pass quests and take photos.
Teachers
Sergey Tolmachov
UI Design Teacher
I work as a UI/UX designer, primarily focusing on graphic interfaces for consumer software. I make solving everyday challenges with apps easy and intuitive. My goal is not only to show you the what, but also make you think about how and why as well.
Anton Håkanson
UX Design Teacher
I am a User Experience designer and accessibility specialist. I shape how users interact with products and help colleagues keep the product accessible. I find UX an exciting mix of problem solving and creativity. Teaching makes me part of a rewarding cause.
I started doing doing small projects at a very young age, retouching photos, created vector illustrations, logos etc. But after the course I was able to put all my knowledge together and create full projects.
