Since 1990 we have perfected the craft of teaching. If students get hung up on an issue, we tweak the class to make it better. We’re the longest running independent training center for code and design in NYC.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
I've been to other bootcamps in NYC on UX design, and guaranteed, this place is where you would want to be. There are a lot of options for classes and certifications that you can choose from that provide both day and evening schedules. The staff is welcoming and always helpful. It was overall a great experience and I was able to take with me the skills I need to improve on my design space.
I learned a lot from Christophe, especially because he explained the lessons in a real-world context with many examples. He went beyond just teaching the tool and its functions.
My experience was great, I learned a lot, and it provided information on how I should look at certain things in order to be productive and enhance the information learned. Thank you!
Awesome class. The instructor was professional, well-articulated, calm, and personable.
My overall experience was very positive. It felt intensive at times, but that’s the nature of two consecutive 6-hour sessions, and no time was wasted.
Dan did such an amazing job of delivering the content in an engaging way. You could tell he didn't want to just get through the lessons; he really wanted us to understand the features and functions of Figma.
Michael is great. I find that while the pace of the class is fast, Michael takes time to revisit steps or topics while also taking questions/making sure everyone understands the material. Outside of the class material, he offers insight into the world of UX/UI and is authentic in addressing our questions and expectations for finding jobs or entering the design world and starting from the bottom.
I had a great experience! I use Figma every day at work and am self-taught in the program This was awesome for filling in some gaps in my Figma knowledge! The instructor was great, easy to follow, and answered all the important questions!
This class and Michael gave me a good opportunity to learn something new and improve my skills in UX and UI.
I had tried the UX/UI Design program before at another place, but it made me want to run away; it felt very complicated. Here at Noble Desktop, under the instruction of Michael Suen, everything was really easy and more comprehensive. I loved it! Now I can say I am a UX/UI Designer, ready to take on any task!
Every creative person who works in Figma should take this course, from designers to researchers to content creators and writers. It will instantly up your game, and the skills you learn are invaluable.
There is a great amount of material covered. I'd explored Figma before but never understood prototyping or auto layout properly. Eugenio broke down the content and built knowledge up from the baseline. Now, it makes sense. The class was really great, I will definitely recommend it.
This is a good class to learn Figma. Eugenio is a good instructor and worked hard to answer all of my questions.
Noble Desktop was a great starting point for switching careers. It gave me the techniques and confidence to start a new chapter in my life.
Michael Suen is a phenomenal UX/UI teacher. He is knowledgeable, but equally importantly, he always makes lessons compelling and easy to understand. He's kind, patient, and helpful.
Dan is a great teacher and speaker! I appreciate his approach as a designer paired with his technical knowledge of Figma, which helped me understand how to use the application. I would definitely take another class he teaches.
This class was an amazing deeper dive into Figma. Breaking things down step by step and then building upon complexity was great. Having materials to take home and practice has also been very helpful! Dan was a patient and skillful teacher, 100% recommend!
Dan is a wealth of knowledge and his relaxed and thoughtful lessons were a great starting point for developing your Figma skills. Great class! Miles ahead of any online tutorial video.
Another great class from Noble Desktop! Dan was very well-informed about the program and made sure to explain steps and processes in a manner that was very easy to understand. The written curriculum within the book itself is something that I can see being very useful long into the future.
Michael was super patient and taught at a pace I was able to follow. If I got lost or missed something, he always went back and took the time to review. Was just enough to learn the basics, and I now feel confident I can navigate our Figma files at work as well as create my own! This was a great ROI!
I'm glad that I decided to take this course, as I felt like it solidified my foundations in Figma and encouraged me to use the platform in a more efficient and intuitive way. The instructor did a really good job and was very helpful and engaging. They were patient with the class and understanding of everyone's varying levels of proficiency with Figma.
The class content and workbook materials were what I needed to get to know how to start using Figma on a professional level. Going over the workbook exercises/projects with the instructor was great. Michael was really informative, always stopped and asked if we needed any help, and gladly went over any and all questions. He pointed out where we should be following in the bootcamp workbook, and referred back to the workbook when letting us know what we would be covering in the next class when answering some advanced questions. Michael was engaging with the class throughout its entirety. The small class size was great because he was able to ask us direct questions and ask where we were during the exercises.
Dan was very easy to follow along and easy to understand when explaining complex features from Figma. Each lesson is easily understandable and explained very well. The examples used helped wrap my mind around how this could impact my work in the real world, with a real client.
Having completed the Sketch 101 course, I now have confidence in my capacity to utilize this program effectively alongside my team. Our instructor provided us with a comprehensive lesson and valuable reference materials for navigating future projects in Sketch.
Dan is a great teacher! He has really mastered the perfect balance of efficiency and information. It felt like we covered a lot without being overwhelmed. I loved this class and would happily recommend it to others.
