Interview: Noble Grad Yayoi Sugishita

May 19, 2017 | Matthew Smith

Yayoi Sugishita attended Noble's Web Design Certificate in early 2016. Her second project was a website for Sakebar Shigure. The website uses elegant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a 1-page format. 

What was your background before learning how to code?

I was a video editor for a Japanese broadcasting company. I didn't have any knowledge of coding at all before learning it.

What led you to pursue classes and a career in code?

At the beginning, I was thinking to run an online business after quitting my previous job.  I thought it'd be better if I could make my own websites than hiring someone.

Did you research other schools before deciding on Noble? 

Yes, I did. I was googling many Web development schools in NYC like New York Code+Design Academy, Flatiron School, and App Academy etc.

What led you to decide to go to Noble?
Noble's programs were very attractive to me, because they gave an opportunity to retake classes, and also the price of the programs was reasonable compared to other schools.
