    Thank you, Beginex!

    So.... my story is that I was a graphic design student back in the day, and landed a print design job. After a few years, we ALL know what happened with print design (rip) so I was forced to reconsider my career. I went ahead and looked around at what I could do and how I could pivot. Turns out, there was no such school at that time to teach me how to bridge the gap of knowledge I had and what I wanted to learn to further my career at the time, so I bartended. For a LONG time. All the wa...

    "A true career accelerator for those who need some guidance, structure, and working tools"I was working as an E-commerce manager at a startup and was looking for an opportunity to switch to a pure UX Design role. A few unconfident attempts to get hired were unsuccessful due to a weak portfolio and not understanding how to market me in the industry.Beginex was a great step to improve my assets, clarify the area of my expertise, get an additional soli...

    "Helping you transform your career path, and your life"


    I was trying to make a career change, but mine was a somewhat different story since my major at university was already Product Design. But I was working more in the "physical" design industry and I was trying to get into the digital product design industry. In theory, I "had the knowledge" and was a practitioner of the framework & methodology. But I lacked experience.

    This is where Beginex was essential. It was an in person, part-time program, workin...

    Real Projects. Real Clients. Real Experience.

    I was working full-time as an elementary teacher and needed a UX program that could provide opportunities to work with real clients for a successful career change. After researching different programs in NYC, I found Beginex and realized it fit my needs and aligned with my goals.
    What made Beginex so appealing to me:
    - Covering the entire UX process while working on real projects with real clients
    - UX career prep with case study and portfolio critiques, design chall...

    Poor communication

    To be clear, I did not attend this bootcamp. This review will explain why. 

    I'm currently unemployed and decided to take a big leap in pursuing UX design. This review is based on my own vulnerabilities as a person who has no income and feels eager to start a career.

    In December of 2020 I spoke to the CEO and founder of this program to learn more about it. In our conversation, he told me the program would start "sometime between late-January to mid-February". I appreciated t...
