Testimonials

  • The versatility of the course truly stands out. Unlike many other resources on the subject, it’s highly applicable to B2B and enterprise software, addressing complex, non-linear workflows where traditional conversion metrics fall short.

    I was particularly impressed by the depth of the material, thoughtfully packed into many hours of engaging video content. It’s an invaluable resource for anyone looking to be more intentional and systematic about user experience.

  • You know how everyone keeps saying “Designers need to understand the language of the business!” — and then you are “Okay, but, how?”. Well, Vitaly is teaching you exactly how to do that! This is a very practical course, full of great examples and tips, to help you understand different business and UX metrics.

    This will help you measure design success, and have a bigger impact in your company! It’s a great course for anyone who wants to go beyond pixel pushing, into a more strategic role, but doesn’t know where to start.

    I loved that the videos break things down clearly — simple and to the point. I came away with new insights on connecting my design work to measurable outcomes, which I didn’t have before. It’s definitely worth it if you want to grow your UX skills!
