GBIvy Sang, Industry experience, Portfolio piece I really enjoyed Ivy Sang as teacher. She is the best part of the class. Her industry knowledge plus her candor and personable teaching style makes the class stand out among other UX classes. Juan, who is currently a Tech UI Designer at Bungie was also a great associate instructor. The portfolio piece you get in the end is awesome. And the portfolio feedback was super helpful in learning about communication and design judgement.

GBAn incredible 6-week course on Game Writing You'd be surprised in what you can learn in 6 weeks from an instructor's lessons as well as class assignments in which feedback is given. I recently took the Game Writing Course with Adam Dolin where we covered and honed in on topics relevant to game writing in the industry. The course is well-paced and the resources given are quite plentiful both during the lesson and on the slides. The assignments were challenging if you were new to a particular concept (ie screenwriting) but not only was there value in the exercise, there was great value in getting feedback from professionals. (Shoutout to the incredible writer & TA for this class Alex Blum who was both encouraging and constructive in his feedback!) Also, while getting a 1:1 chance to meet with an instructor was incredbile, it was such a hard choice to pick and I know that plenty of students wished to meet with both Adam and Alex! One last thing, depending on your classmates' schedules and openness, this class will unlock an incredible community of writers that are open to collaboration, feedback, and workshopping/brainstorming together! Overall, this course was incredible and if there was a more advanced or even more focused class on game writing (character building or worldbuilding as a topic etc.), I would sign up in a heartbeat!

GBUX/UI for Gaming - 7 Week Course I joined a UX/UI course for gaming that was led by Ivy Sang. I went into it with very basic visual design knowledge, a website development background, and a big passion for video games. My goal taking this course was to gain the confidence to be able to switch careers. This course definitely met my expectations, I really enjoyed it and thought every class was informative, well laid out and very insightful. I feel like I learned a lot and am even feeling confident enough to tackle self-paced courses to hone my skills even further, now. Our program manager, Lynn Thompson, was super helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. The course felt seamless, clear and enjoyable.

GBI was not prepared for how… I was not prepared for how professional, how supportive and genuine my instructors Adam and Alex would be for my game narrative course (Sabina you are our biggest cheerleader too and we all thank you for that.) I never would've guessed this class was as new as it was for how informative, helpful and resourceful it was. ELVTR makes sure you not only feel safe to learn to create, but pushes you with a community driven approach that felt it worked better than a lot of college courses I've taken.
