I loved this course! The pacing of the sessions, along with the coursework and slides, made it easy to follow and helped me develop a strategy for my next chapter. I highly recommend this course; it effectively organizes your thoughts, strategy, and plan in a constructive and valuable way. Shawn, our instructor, was invaluable and insightful. He also fostered a collaborative environment for everyone involved.

AI-Proof Your Career: Design Your Next Chapter in the Artificial Age

I joined this course as a senior designer trying to get clearer on how I could position myself for potential next steps. Shawn’s structure, assignments, and quality real-time and async feedback were genuinely valuable, and the cohort relationship-building and peer perspective were just as critical to leveling up. It was surprising how quickly this new lens started to shape how I showed up professionally, sometimes within just a few hours of meeting or completing an assignment. IMHO, building the mindset of crafting how you present yourself is extremely valuable whether you work in design or not, and I can confidently say that this course helped me kick the habit of leaving conversations wishing I'd said something better or made a stronger impression. Highly recommend this course or any other led by Shawn!

AI-Proof Your Career: Design Your Next Chapter in the Artificial Age

I started this course lacking confidence in my skills and direction, and left with not only renewed confidence but actual excitement for what's next. Shawn helped us create an actionable framework for taking our next career steps, and helped each of us clarify for ourselves who we are and what we're about. His sincere instruction style, plus the bonus stories he shared from his own career made this course invaluable. Highly recommend!
