Finally, the middle of the process
Most courses show the shiny final file. This one showed the messy decisions in between, and the critique session alone was worth the price.

Short lessons, real assignments
Every lesson is under twenty minutes and ends with something to make. I finished on my lunch breaks in five weeks.

Changed how I present work
The feedback from my mentor was specific, kind and a little brutal in the right places. My portfolio reviews go much better now.

Great content, wanted more examples
Clear and practical. I would have liked one or two more worked examples in the later stages, but the downloads fill the gap.

Good, but pace yourself
Lots of material. The exercises take longer than the timings suggest, so plan for that.
