I found the Interaction Design Foundation, IxDF, at a point when I was exploring the shift from a safety design and construction background into the world of UX and service design. What I did not expect was how deeply it would help me connect the dots across my past experience and give structure to my growth as a designer. Through IxDF, I gained not only strong foundational knowledge, but also the confidence to lead community events, collaborate across disciplines, and grow professionally, both as a UX designer and as a mentor to others. What makes IxDF special is the depth of the content, the supportive community, and the clear focus on real-world, human-centered design, not just flashy tools or trends. If you are looking for a space to grow, rethink how you work, or just connect with others who genuinely care about design, IxDF is it!

Thank you, IxDF, for helping me fall in love with design! For years, I believed it was not for me, but as I explore more of the courses, I understand design through its broadest and most beautiful sense. Thank you for teaching with such passion and for sharing a deep love for the true meaning of design.

I've been working through IxDF's UX Designer + AI career program this year, and it's been one of the best investments I've made in my career. The courses are taught by genuine leaders in the field.

IxDF has been a game changer in my professional development. Thanks to the high-quality courses and community support, I have gained practical UX and design thinking skills that I have directly applied to real-world projects. I now feel much more confident leading innovation initiatives and guiding cross-functional teams. The learning outcomes helped me not only grow in my current role but also opened up new career opportunities. The structured content, expert instructors, and focus on application make IxDF stand out from any other learning platform I have used. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to advance in UX, product design, or digital transformation!

The courses are well curated, the lessons are engaging (I especially enjoyed those with Allan Dix). It truely advanced my career.

IxDF truly opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks to their courses, I was able to deepen my knowledge with top-notch instructors. Every course is a joy—well-structured content, delivered with great clarity. IxDF did not just help me learn—it empowered me to share that knowledge with my community and communicate more effectively with stakeholders in my projects. The templates provided in the courses have also been incredibly useful for standardizing and speeding up my workflow. And I absolutely love the strong ethical foundation they bring to design. Listening to the Don Norman himself was such a privilege. Thank you, IxDF, for delivering so much value! 🌟

These courses have accelerated my growth as a designer and equipped me with tools I will continue to build on for years to come. As a website designer, I used to feel overwhelmed by the complexity of UX/UI principles. I often second-guessed my design decisions and struggled to align user needs with my clients business goals. The courses from the Interaction Design Foundation changed everything for me. These courses have truly been a game-changer. I have developed a solid understanding and practical experience in key areas like user-centered design, information architecture, usability, and even behavioral psychology. Thanks to the skills I have gained through the courses, I have been landing more projects, confidently articulating my design decisions, and building stronger client relationships. I am now carving a clear and exciting path forward in my career. I can confidently say these courses have accelerated my growth as a designer and equipped me with tools I will continue to build on for years to come.

There are courses for all skill levels, it’s easy to learn alongside work, new courses are added all the time, and it’s fun to keep learning!

IxDF has been my trusted partner in my UX journey. I have been a member since 2019 and every course I have attended has been helpful at all times, I am now a UX Lead for a telco holding company and I always use IxDF as a reference or example every time. I recommend IxDF for all professionals who want to start their journey, consolidate knowledge or learn new topics and achieve career advancement. Also, the people inside IxDF are great, human and empathetic. You can feel a real personal support in everything you need. Being part of IxDF is being part of a family and a community.

The local community events and networking opportunities are also a great way to connect with fellow designers and continue learning beyond the courses.I highly recommend IxDF to anyone who wants to build a strong foundation in UX/UI design, stay updated with industry best practices, and grow as a design professional.

I am brought up in the culture where you complete your Computer Engineering degree first and then contemplate what to do in life and I chose to do the same, even though my parents were very supportive of any career choice. I started coding iOS applications and later I realised how mundane and uninterested I was in speaking the language of compilers. Disillusioned and hating every bit of binaries, pun intended, I realised the best career choice for me, would be to wear a cape, have a bat signal and fight crime at night. To my surprise, my therapist told me that I have become really fancy and at the top of self actualisation ladder I am now in Existential Crisis. This was a good news to me, with my new found love for pain I imagined restarting my career from scratch after 6 years of coding. I liked management as a fish likes to breathe in air and I have already told you how I enjoyed writing algorithms in Swift and Objective-C. I almost flew away from the industry as Clarice flew away from Buffalo Bill. If you don’t understand that reference, you should be a lead character in Kafka’s book and if you don’t understand this reference, why do you even exist. So, here I am in pain about to leave my high paying job at a big product company, because I did not know what to do in the industry and enter IxDF. From starting my first Design Thinking course to landing a job as a UX Designer in another big organisation took me just 6 months. IxDF has shaped my basic as well as advanced skills in Experience Design and gave me a lot of confidence in my design process and decision making. IxDF has a one of the Best design education from industry experts, compact and effective when applied it unleashes the power of Kraken. Now my designs earn me good money and land others in existential crisis. My heartfelt thanks to Rikke and Mads for creating this platform and making Design education affordable and accessible to everyone. I hope IxDF never stops growing and never stops defining careers.

IxDF is great! As a designer, it’s my go-to platform to stay updated and clear up gaps in my understanding of UX concepts and its complex universe that keeps unfolding.

I've been a user of IxDF for over a year. The way facilitators explain things is clear and easy to understand. At the same time, they cover specialized topics. One of the Design Directors in my company even told me that I'm the person in the team with the most expertise on accessibility, and all that is because I took the IxDF accessibility course.

The IxDF provides top-tier courses led by expert instructors on all aspects of user experience design. It also offers highly relevant 1-hour master classes on timely, impactful topics such as generative AI or accessibility.

I've learned quite a bit here and have been applying it all to my current role and will for future endeavors. The tasks are relatable to every day life, and require me to step out of my comfort zone. I'm also a huge fan of the community. The ideas being shared throughout each exercise is inspiring and shaping the way I approach things for future endeavors. I'm tapping back into my curiosity and creativity.

I joined IxDF with a student membership. Due to difficult circumstances in my home country, I was unable to formally prove my student status, despite actively being enrolled and trying every possible channel. I honestly didn’t expect much flexibility, but the way the IxDF team handled my situation truly surprised me. They listened, showed empathy, and made an exception so I could continue learning without interruption. This experience showed me that IxDF genuinely stands beside designers as people, not just as users on a platform. “Education for all” is one of the missions I deeply believe in, and this experience has only strengthened my commitment to that value, both as a learner and as a designer who tries to reflect these principles in my work. I won’t forget this level of understanding and human-centered support. Thank you, IxDF, for proving that accessibility and empathy still matter in education.

I took several usability-focused courses through Interaction Design Foundation while working on a UI modernization project, and they were very helpful in strengthening my understanding of usability and user-centered design. The courses included The Practical Guide to Usability, Web Design for Usability, and Conducting Usability Testing. What I appreciated most was the focus on clarity, navigation, accessibility, and how people interact with interfaces in real-world situations. The lessons were practical and easy to follow. What I learned helped inform the UI modernization project for the company I was working for, particularly around simplifying navigation and creating a more intuitive user experience. I’d recommend these courses to designers looking to build a stronger usability and UX foundation.

I have tried other courses, but IxDF is the one that convinced me to stay. If you're a self-taught professional who wants to switch careers or someone who has already started the journey, the content you'll find will be invaluable. I also really like how the site looks and works now. It has made it easier for me to find content I'm interested in, which helps me stay consistent. Professionals can restart their learning journey from scratch while reviewing specific topics or learn something new when going through familiar content in courses. This is especially useful when I notice a topic is relevant to my current job, which helps me stay focused and sharp for the task at hand. For me, IxDF is not really about certifications, it's about improving myself as a professional.

I've been a member on and off for several years now, and I love the courses. They are easy to understand and offer something for every learning style, including reading, videos, and practice. The Master Classes are great as well, as is the ability to join communities and network. I like especially that all courses, the entire platform, really, are centered around humans. Human psychology, how we see or experience. The experts come from a variety of backgrounds, which makes the learning more interesting and gives different perspectives. I have tried many learning platforms and still do, but I have to say that, especially for the yearly price, IxDF is an extremely valuable learning platform, and the investment is well worth it!

IxDF has been genuinely valuable to my growth as a UX/UI designer in the games industry. While many lectures aren't directly tailored to video games, the core principles, design laws, and frameworks translate universally, they've meaningfully shaped how I think about and approach design problems, regardless of the platform. The score systems, leaderboards, and certificates are well-implemented engagement mechanics that kept me motivated and consistent across multiple courses. I'm stepping away for a while to focus on other priorities, but I fully intend to return.

IxDF helped me build a stronger foundation in UX and think more deeply about the people behind the products we create. The courses are practical, easy to apply, and full of valuable insights. It has been a great investment in my professional growth and one I would recommend to anyone serious about design.
