Shift Nudge is hands down the best UI design course available online. Amongst a lot of courses that promise much but are barely surface-level education, the material and MDS are very much the real deal. If you commit to it you can't fail to level up considerably as an interface designer.

Been a bit quiet on here lately. Which meant I've been studying. And with that I have hit a new milestone. The completion of the Shift Nudge course. It's not 'finished' though—this high-quality knowledge bank will be my go-to for years to come. Time to implement the learnings.

I’ve done Shift Nudge and couldn’t recommend it enough! You can go at your own pace + seeing other people’s work / getting nitpicky feedback is great. I’d say that if you’re looking to expand your UI skills, do it!

Meher Goel ↗

I've been watching the Shift Nudge videos everyday and it's been super rewarding to see it pay off in my design work 🥲 (and I haven't even finished the assignments yet...)

Simran Jassal ↗

I’m early in - but have already learned a lot. It’s been specific and actionable so far, and the tips I’ve put in practice already save me an hour or 2 a week! I'll say though, it’s most worth it if you plan to do the homework. Would buy again.

Alice Ma ↗

If you’re looking to ramp up your design skills this year, I highly recommend taking Shift Nudge by MDS even if you’re a well-experienced designer. Having just completed it last week, it goes well beyond design basics.

Nicholas Shipes ↗

Learned that my brother-in-law is getting into digital design, completely independently. Asked him to pay for Shift Nudge to fast track his understanding of using tools and UX principles. Still think MDS has the best course in the game right now.

Had a discussion over the weekend with a friend I met on the Shift Nudge class, and in discussing the classes, we both acknowledged how humble MDS is. When he shows an example with his old work, he is never afraid to admit that he could have done it better, or he was wrong about something.

Michael Shumaker ↗

The amount of people Figma (and not just people with designer in their title) enrolled in Shift Nudge makes me so happy. Particularly the idea that people can develop and cultivate skills together rather than alone. Doing things in groups is motivating!
