notes

In order to improve the thinking behind my design work, I decided to start UXTraining.com's UX Design Diploma. So far, I just went through a single evening of training, but I already appreciate this training's focus on processes, analysis and user research.

I can't wait to see the result of this undertaking in 6 months from now...
