    Such great UX help & guidance.

    I'm very thankful for the bootcamp, as I landed a UX internship in Downtown LA shortly after, and I'm ecstatic over how much the bootcamp has helped me move beyond getting just my foot in the door. I am able to do far more than many of the other interns who went to other schools can do, and I have no hesitation in saying so. ITHAKAI has done wonders and I can only take pride in being a part of the early days that gave me such a leg up.

    Great course!

    This course was a great introduction to UX design. I'm very glad I signed up for it, and I learned a lot over the span of a few months. My mentor was amazing and so knowledgeable. I really liked that I could complete projects at my own pace. I was working full-time when I signed up, so some weeks I made massive progress on my projects and some weeks I could only commit a few hours to my projects. Because I took this course, I was able to change my career path and find a UX design job in no...

    Great Course to Further or Start Your UX Learning Journey


    Having already worked with multidisciplinary UX teams in the past, I was looking for opportunities to develop beyond my UI and visual design background... ITHAKAI provided that option in a supportive and collaborative curriculum. Looking back, I see two key growth areas in my design abilities — stronger critical thinking and more refined problem solving skills. One last thing, it made me a more humble human-centered designer, too ;-)

    Great course to get started in the UX field

    This course is for anyone who is a beginner to UX and if they are anticipating whether this field is for them or not. I am from Engineering background - no art or design background whatsoever but I had heard about UX design and was interested in this field but the courses out there are so damn expensive that I left the thought. I did try some online courses but they were not so great and then I came across this course from Ithakai. For the price they charge for this course, I think its tot...

    Good Introduction to UX

    I took several UX courses online but I found I was having a hard time getting interest in positions I was applying to. I decided to enroll in ITHAKAI because I wanted to keep leanring UX while taking an in-person class (which are hard to find in Orange County let alone in UX), and also try to improve my portfolio.

    The UX intensive program at ITHAKAI goes very fast, moreso if you are also working like I was, but you learn a lot. There were things that I learned that I was doing wr...

    Good overview of UX Design in a quick course

    It was an amazing experience for me. It was my first time studying "UX Design", coming into the course with only basic design knowledges. Starting an intensive course in a field I am new to was scary in the beginning, but instructors' kind instructions and family like vibe of the course gave me a good opportunity to fully explore my interest and ability in UX. Even though I can't guarantee future students that they will fully understand UX design after this course, as UX design is a large ...

    Great option for learning UX and getting started on your portfolio.

    I chose Ithakai for numerous reasons. 1. It was in person. I had tried doing some online bootcamps like CareerFoundry and Bloc but found that it was difficult to maintain motivation and I needed that person-to-person contact. 2. It was part-time. Classes were only twice a week for 2 hr sessions. You don't have to completely uproot your life in order to change careers. 3. It was one of the more affordable in-person bootcamps (compared to General Assembly, for example, which is $13,500 for a...

    The journey of UX career

    I am writing this at my office as a UX designer in the headquarter of AT&T. I am very grateful to be able to get this good job offer after the very diverse and solid UX training at ITHAKAI. The most important thing I learn there is do as much as we can and we will be beyond who good we think we could be. During the training program, I become a doer from a thinker. With my teammates I called the business owners to get their first hand feedback. We sit with the user to really understan...

    Perfect for students in SoCal

    I really enjoy the UX research program at ITHAKAI. Here is my overall experience:

    1. Small Class Size: My instructors are able to provide each student with more individual attention.

    2. Project Based Learning: We actually work on the professional UX projects to solve users' challenge.  

    3. Reasonable Tuition: Compared with other UX programs in SoCal, their class schedule, tuition and payment options are definitely ...

    Amazing Intensive Class

    I enjoyed taking this class and learning all the aspects to UX/UI Design.  They deep dive into each aspect of the UX/UI Design process and how it works and why it needs to be done.  Class time is spent on working on current technology needed for the profession and the instructors are very knowledgable of the profession and how each piece works together to create a beautiful presentation.

    Great Team

    I loved doing the hands-on in-class work. I believed thinking on my feet to complete the assignment under time constraints really challenged to learn a lot. I felt comfortable asking questions. Everyone was great! I felt very comfortable asking questions and doing the presentations. I received very valuable feedback.

    Great class, wonderful instructors

    I have been working in the IT industry for 5 years. I had the title of a developer, but also adopted design in my job responsibilites. I came to Ithakai to get more formal training about UX with the goal to transition my career to soley design.

    The curriculum that was taught was straightforward and you can learn a lot and build a good portfolio piece if you put in the hard work. The instructors really worked with everyone to make sure the material was understood. They really seem...
