Testimonials:
“I had recently attended a Nielsen-Norman Group conference in San Francisco and found W***y’s Workshop to be much more valuable, not to mention way more fun, engaging and interactive!”
– Steve Eliopoulos, Developer/Designer (Los Angeles)
“It's a rare privilege to learn from a master - so when the opportunity presented itself to take a UX workshop with W***y Lai, I jumped at it. Even though I'm a senior UX practitioner, I gained some new tools and techniques(!) with W***y as well as a deeper understanding of how to create value for my clients quickly. His workshop is comprehensive, and the learning is internalized by actually applying the methodologies he's teaching to a specific project. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and highly recommend it to anyone from product managers to developers to designers.”
- Kim Johansen, Co-Founder & Chief of Product Design (London, England)
“I cannot say enough good things about both W***y and his workshop. His experience and expertise in the field made for an exciting two days. I ...recommend W***y's workshop to anyone who is interested in UX no matter their experience level. If you are looking into one of W***y's workshops...I wouldn't hesitate! or you could miss out on a great opportunity."
- Ashley Ziolkoski, Graphic Designer (Winnipeg, Canada)
"W***y's reputation as one of the world's foremost experts in UX design is well-deserved. I partnered with W***y for a unique campaign (workshops, talks, and social networking events) to bring UX design thinking to a community of forward-thinking doers and leaders in Winnipeg, and he did not disappoint."
- Christian Robin (event host), RRC Polytech
