Having some knowledge in visual design, I wasn't sure if I needed this course but decided to take the leap. It was a fantastic course than gave me more insight toward visual guidelines, ideas and strategies that I have already put into place the day after class. I recommend this class to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in this field.

The Visual Design Bootcamp class offers great tips and direction for building websites visually and accurately. I learned so much in just 3 days and felt prepared to start my own projects right away. Dan is a patient instructor and gives great advice on your project throughout the 3-day class.

I was so impressed with this class! Our teacher Ethan as incredible, and his teaching style was perfect to take in a lot of info but also keep us moving, no matter the level. Was truly impressed with the amount I took away and feel it was worth every penny. I'll be back again and will definitely recommend to friends!

Michele R. was a great instructor. She made the class easy to follow, plenty of questions were asked and she had all the answers that made everything clear as day. The last time I took a class here I was learning Indesign when it first launched. I was so impressed when I took that one, that coming back for Sketch was a no-brainer.

Adobe XD in a Day provides the essential fundamentals for Adobe XD in a concise format. You walk away from the class with a very good understanding of how it works and the potential it has for your future design work. Easy to understand presentation and a good overall classroom vibe to learn within.

This class is very informative. Even with the UX sphere rapidly growing every day, the instructor managed to stay on top of the many changes happening within Adobe XD and how it stacks up against similar apps.

Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn't have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don't think it could've gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, I'm actually excited to use it!

Sketch in a Day provided a great overview of the app with a well-constructed approach of going over concepts, then having the class work hands-on with those concepts. It was well paced, taught by an industry professional to industry professionals. Overall, an excellent way to spend a day to get up and running in Sketch!

Learning something new is very intimidating but Dan Rodney at Noble Desktop really took the time to clearly explain everything and I actually feel pretty comfortable with the program for just learning the basics in a day.

Tess Kakhki
H4B Chelsea

Class was super informative. Not only did Dan show how the program worked, but he went into the history of the software, and the many ways to go about doing things within the program. The projects were very organized, and very easy to follow. Dan didn't just read us the pdf, but instructed us in a very casual manner, and the provided material complimented the lessons he was demonstrating very nicely.

The Adobe XD Bootcamp was a great experience overall. Makes tackling a new program easy. Course materials provided are very helpful to go back and revisit any lessons learned. Dan Rodney was a great instructor! His experience in both design and programming was extremely helpful when discussing the program as it related to our company's needs. Thanks, Dan!

A clear, well-paced, and useful class that gave me a good working understanding of Figma along with a larger understanding of Figma as a creative tool.

Doug Padgett

Noble Desktop is a great place to learn, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to start or expand their design and coding careers! They prepare you for the job market and for you to be ahead of the curve in your career. I am actively applying to jobs and when I look for a product designer or UX/UI positions, everything I am learning in class is listed in job descriptions, so that is a huge advantage I will have once I start working. Five stars all around! :)
