Training that met our expectations!
Ugo was able to identify and understand our needs to offer us tailor-made training adapted to our challenges.
Despite a difficult health context for carrying out the training, Ugo managed to capture our attention and have us work on concrete cases often absent from this type of training!
We will undoubtedly work with Ugo again as a Trainer or consultant to further explore UX and Design System issues.
