Is Shift Nudge any good?

  • Ramon Gilabert · Microsoft
    …I've read every book, but your course is by far the most comprehensive, well explained, well structured, and most actionable resource in design I've ever taken.
  • Tom Giannattasio · Figma
    Matt is a rarity. Not only is he one of the most talented designers in the game, he also has an incredible knack for teaching and inspiring others.
  • Hannah Hearth · Anthropic
    I was obviously thinking of Shift Nudge when I shared that bit about craft being something you can learn.
  • Charlsy Yang · Google
    Always enjoy following Matt on the canvas, learned so much just watching him design.
  • Michelle Lu · Meta
    Blown away by your level of feedback... Definitely getting my value out of Shift Nudge!
