    “Cielo is a great teacher. The class was fun, useful, and offers the all-important hands-on component. I'd highly recommend this class, and it's a good idea to take her UX Design for Non-Designers first. ”
  • Endorses Cielo as a teacher

    “Cielo is a great teacher! I liked that the class was short but focused - she covered everything I was hoping to learn. I also appreciated that she used hands-on exercises to illustrate concepts, rather than just talking at us for 2 hours. I would take another class from Cielo in a heartbeat.”

    “Cielo gave a great intro to the concept of UX and the process UX designers use. This class is particularly well suited to those who are interested in doing their own UX, and teaches a simple process for how to get started. Cielo makes it fun and interactive. A very fun class!”

    “Cielo's class was a great introduction to UX. Simple and easy to digest. A great beginner class if you're interested in learning and applying UX to a working situation or just curious about what a UX designer actually does. Would recommend this class to anyone. ”
  • Endorses Cielo as a teacher

    “Cielo is not only an expert in UX but also a really great teacher. I've been to other Skillshare classes where the teacher was clearly a subject matter expert but not the best at communicating / teaching their subject - not the case with Cielo. Her deck was organized, and she walked us through the fundamentals of UX in a way that was memorable and effective. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to get an introduction to the level process of UX. I've already recommended this class to many others and have been talking about all that I've learned with others”

    “Good class. Her style of teaching makes it fun to learn. UX is a complex topic but she is able to distill it so that when you walk out of the class, you have enough confidence and belief that it is something you can learn. I would highly recommend this class! ”

    “I am currently taking a User Experience class at the Art Institute of California, San Francisco. I just took Ceilo class and she pretty much covered the information about User Experience in one night of her class compared to what I will be learning in 11 weeks at the Art Institute of California, San Francisco. I recommend this class for beginners that want more clarity and information about User Experience.”

    “For a topic that might seem as daunting as "UX," Cielo did a great job breaking it down to an easily digestible format and relevant to the audience. The class was interactive and the instructor was extremely personable. She was genuinely vested in spreading the knowledge of UX and to leverage her experience to help others.”

    “Cielo did a great job of being direct, organized, and relevant in teaching this UX Design class. She got right to the point without frill or unnecessary tangents. In addition, Cielo used real life examples to make it easier for non-designers to be able to interact with the material that she was teaching and get her point across. The ability to be able to make information as simple as possible made this class quite enjoyable on a Thursday night. Not to mention a great Powerpoint presentation that presents a very clear hierarchy of information for students to efficiently group. As a recent university grad, I appreciated the clarity and amount of engagement she presented in her class. Job well done. ”

We talked about some basic and very solid ideas for the design process, and were provided with various resources (i.e. websites, design tools, thought process) to put into practice after the class.

    “I took Cielo's UX for Non-Designers class as a Designer. I'm a print + web designer (visual) and struggling with defining myself in this rapidly changing space and in job searching. Postings seem to want a designer to be able to do everything and I want to ensure I can talk about what I do/don't do while not underselling myself. While providing me with those answers, I also gained a better grasp for the proper processes. A lot of what I've done in web thus far has been small freelance jobs - so a lot of "figuring it out". Luckily, I've been on the right track! I would also highly recommend this class to clients because a lot of work begins with them (i.e. goal setting). Well designed, easy to follow presentation.”

    “This was a great class. I really appreciated Cielo's perspective. Unfortunately the class size was not terribly conducive to learning - I think it should have been reduced by 5-10 people at least, and the space was not good. Also (and I know Cielo didn't know this in advance) there was a singing group in the next room - making it nearly impossible to concentrate. I'd like to see more classes from her in the future. In better spaces!”

I'm a complete non-designer, having created websites from my programming background; there were several classmates with website design backgrounds; and several others who didn't fit either category, yet everyone was engaged and learning useful new user experience design concepts, strategies, and tools that could be immediately applied to our current or upcoming projects.

    “Cielo took a really interesting class tonight and considering that this was her first one (at least with SkillShare) she did an amazing job. The class was really clear and useful for us UX beginners, she went through all the main topics of UX and showed us really good examples to better understand what she was teaching us. She also answered our questions in a simple and comprehensive way. I really enjoyed the class and suggest anybody who is interested in learning UX to take this course, it's totally worth it and a good way to understand how to start thinking about UX for web development. Look forward to the advanced class already! Pierluca”
