🚀New Digital School

I've meet the TNDS for a while and I can only say great stuff. They even organise workshops with awesome experts that I've felt the need to send my team over to Porto to participate in them.

For anyone considering work in digital (design), defo the place to go.

This is the best training and experience a designer aspiring to great things can get. And being in Porto for a while is a blessing!

The New Digital School has been helping HUUB to apply design thinking methodologies to build a product that answers our clients needs. The school has been living inside our ecosystem, breathing from our complexity and helping us to apply the right tools to product development. We're very excited to see the end result in two weeks! Congrats to everyone involved: mentors, students and specially Tiago Pedras and Sara Ramos for the great 1st year!

And for anyone considering this approach to learning, be bold and apply!

I've been following these guys from The New Digital School since their beginning and also participating on their events, masterclasses, workshops and the like. Last time I was there, I was invited, as an industry expert, to review the portfolios of the students that were preparing themselves to find a job in the Digital Design market. I regularly interview and hire Designers for our company and as a Digital Designer myself, I think I can recognize talent when i see it. And in this case, I was genuinely impressed with the levels of quality and professionalism that this students could pull off in only one year of studing at TNDS and that was the exact moment that I started to truly believe on the concept of this school. Despite all of the different things, when compared to traditional schooling, TNDS really does work. It works so well in fact, that actually, one of the current students will probably get an offer from our company when they finish this school year.

I am priviliged to mentor the leaerning design team at The New Digital School, by challenging them to stay focused on their mission and support them to keep pursuing their purpose and long term vision.

We had the luck to be the selected client for one of TNDS Design Sprints. The output of this week is valuable work that is being implemented on our platform as we speak.

I've used since January 2018. The course itself has finished.

I'll be updating my comments over the following weeks.

Hope they get what they need to get bigger.

I'm really happy to be part of this aspiring project, as a student. Nowadays the traditional academia is broken, specially in the design field, that changes everyday.

At this school without teachers and curriculum, you have an open program that fits everyone's needs, with real projects and masterclasses about a lot of different topics, where you will discover all the actual trends, concerns and problems digital design is facing nowadays. More important than that, almost 10 months after the beginning of the school, I'm feeling confident and prepared to start a job as a UX/UI designer.

Recommend to all of you!
