The course is brilliant, because it causes you to step away from habitual behaviours, reflexes and just really think about whether you’re making the best version of the thing you’re setting out to make. Not only were the industry professionals and the exercises brilliant, but talking to all my peers on the course was fantastic as well. So many different backgrounds, so many different levels of experience. It’s already informing how I go about dealing with situations.
