💡 Why Join This Masterclass?
As a Senior Product Designer with 7 years of industry experience and a Visiting Faculty at MIT ID, I’ve mentored hundreds of students. I don't believe in boring lectures; I believe in showing you the real work. You'll get to see live examples, participate in a quick "mini-design challenge," and walk away with a roadmap to start your own UX portfolio.
