Learn UI Design is an incredibly comprehensive course that will set you on a path to becoming a professional UI Designer… deep, practical knowledge straight from an industry professional.”
I’ve been watching Erik Kennedy’s Learn UI Design course to bone up a bit... If you're serious about wanting to get better at design, this is the course for you.”
I completed Learn UI Design about 2 months ago, and it’s changed my life. My skills are on a whole different level now. Probably the best-spent $1000 of my life. Thanks a lot!”
I'm a UX designer, but since doing Learn UI Design, my visual design skills have improved so much that teams I've interviewed with thought I was a UI designer who accidentally applied to a UX job! I've seriously learned way more about design from Learn UI Design than I did from [my four-year university]!”
The color videos BLEW MY MIND! This is EXACTLY what I’ve needed to learn for years. I could never name it, but you just showed me. I’ve been paying attention to color for decades, and have NEVER seen this ANYWHERE. Thank you, Erik!”
Since taking Learn UI Design, I not only got a job as a 
UX/UI consultant, but went on to become the lead designer at the same company. All in one year! This course has helped me progress so fast it’s hard to believe.”

Learn UX Design is 100x more interesting than every other UX course I’ve tried. Everything is explained so well, and with great examples!”
I worked as a UX designer for an agency for 3 years and took the CareerFoundry UX course about 4-5 years ago. I learned more in your videos than all that experience combined! Thanks Erik!”
I took a university course in HCI, and Learn UX Design is way more useful for real-world design. I'm SUPER satisfied.”
This course seriously made me fall in love with UX design… I'm more confident, able to justify my design decisions, listen with an open mind, and design with the empathy for the user... Thank you!”
I really loved the User Research and Usability Testing parts of the course. I’ve read and watched so many other online tutorials – they all just explain the theory. But Learn UX Design’s lessons are practical and useful. Thanks man!”
I took a course with CareerFoundry and it was not all that... Learn UX Design is the best UX course I've ever seen.”

Excellent framework, examples, and illustrations. An MFA in 11 minutes.”
This is the best article I’ve ever read on the details of user interface design... Incredible stuff.”
The guide I wish I had written about pairing fonts.”
Each time I receive an email from you, I'm like 'Damn this is a long email! No way I will read all this', then I began to read and I'm like 'Damn this is so freaking brillant' and read it all.”
[Your newsletter] is possibly the best newsletter I’ve received since 1999, when I started freelancing.”
I'm on a lot of lists – too many damn lists – some of them great, some of them OK, but yours is one of the great ones and they'd have to kidnap and threaten my cat to get me to unsub.”
