Here's what our learners have to say about the course...

Prachi Pancholi
UX Designer Onething Design
"As an intern, I had a lot of ideas but no clear direction for them. Venky really helped me, explore the "why" behind every design decision I made and helped me develop the habit of figuring things out on my own by researching my way out. Exactly what a good mentor can guide you with. I've often picked up minor and significant lessons from him simply by observing how he works, communicates, or even brainstorms. And once again, I would be really excited to work with him on a creative and a challenging project!"
Anjini Khanna
Senior User Experience Designer, Onething Design
Venky has been an extremely encouraging mentor throughout my journey with Onething, from helping me build confidence in my professional and personal interactions to teaching me the nuances of design. He treats each roadblock as a new opportunity for us to learn something new. Each project with him has been full of insights. He has helped us look at design from a new lens. Venky has played a major role in my professional growth. He always believed in my potential even before I did and he constantly pushed me to strive for the best. He has played a vital part in my incredible journey from a UX Intern to a Senior UX Designer.

Product Designer,

""I recently attended the Globally Accessible Product Workshop by GrowthSchool & was impressed by the focus on UX research & its impact on creating globally accessible products. The speaker, Venky Hariharan, was knowledgeable & provided valuable insights & practical techniques. The hands-on approach & real-life scenario application were a great investment in my professional development as a product designer. The Growth School team created a supportive & engaging learning environment, leaving me feeling inspired & equipped with the tools to enhance my product design. Thank you GrowthSchool for this incredible opportunity!"
