FOR WHOM

UX hackathon is for you if

You want to continue your UX education, but a new bootcamp is too expensive and long.

You have only 2 projects in your portfolio, but you don’t know where to find project ideas.

You are not satisfied with your portfolio projects, you want to create a case study you will be proud of.

You switch from graphic design, and you don’t need a UX bootcamp, you just need to design portfolio projects.

Recruiters don’t reply you back, and you want to stand out.

Your portfolio projects are under NDA, and you need to show your best in your portfolio.

If you are looking for a first UX education — the UX hackathon is not for you.

Testimonials

Our proud testimonials

As a newbie in UX who jumped into a hackathon straight after the bootcamp, I learned so much useful information.

Erzhena Dambaeva

I highly recommend Inès's hackathon. She is an experienced professional that will help the beginner and challenge the more experienced.

Marco Bruschtein, MSI

The hackathon was super well-organized and created such a cool atmosphere for learning and growth.

Alanis Melendez

Doing the hackathon might have been the best thing that happened to me as a designer.

Grace Kyalo

As a starting UX/UI designer, this hackathon helped me build a solid base when it comes to best practices as a UX/UI designer.

Alexandre Allaou

If you're looking for someone to give you a boost in your UX design journey, I highly recommend Ines! She really knows the industry practices, and her feedback is always insightful.

Magda Metel

It was a great experience to work on a research process closely related to real-world practices and to train. I would recommend this camp to anyone who, like me, wants to dive deeper into the field of UX!

Jungwan Lee

I personally haven’t taken any bootcamps, but I strongly believe this hackathon provides more real-life practical skills than a bootcamp. Theories and figma skills I can learn on my own!
