Your presentation in this video itself is an example of good UX Design. Simple and easy to understand.

Reminds me of the expression "a user interface is like a joke, if you have to explain it, it isn't good enough."
Nice work Dee :-)

[rinni]

I just spent a week learning, and not as thoroughly, what you told me in 8 mins. Thank you!

[edgarreyes]

Thank you for creating this video. I am interested in a career change and when younger I was interested in software development, but life took me in another direction, and I want to get back on that field, this might just be what I need to get into.

[josephina]

Yes, good video! Here’s my example of bad ux design: credit card terminals. As with microwave ovens, these terminals’ wide variety of design cause unnecessary confusion. The designers need to get on the same page.

This is the greatest YouTube video ever made :)

Everyday I am exceedingly convinced to shift my career from a Hotelier to being a UX/UI Designer just by watching these videos from the CF channel and Vlog reviews from your alumni’s. I just wished that the time will fast forward itself to the end of this year so that I can formally start my career shift. Looking forward to enrolling on your course in Berlin!
Cheers and thumbs up to your Channel!
