DPDI changed my perspective to look at everything in life. It did give me a new pair of eyes to be able to see better when it comes to digital products.
There were a number of times in the course when I experienced "wow" moments. It has been awesome to get to know Karthi, and see products, business & experience through her eyes.
For once, you meet passionate people who live the subject that you want to learn. You end sessions inspired and raring to go.
I wish there were more teachers like Xperian. I recommend the experience of Xperian to you all.
You rarely come across real talents who stand out like Karthi. I had the pleasure of learning from Karthi in Xperian School.
It was the phase in my design career which had a phenomenal impact on my thought process and the way I see product design.
Post the course my confidence levels had a big-time boost to take and solve design problems. Genuine expert is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Karthi. Her ever-smiling and warmth way of handling students is exceptional and unmatched.
Xperian School, hands down is the best school I have ever come across both online + offline.
The most credit for this goes to Karthi! She has been instrumental in not just teaching but giving us a new pair of glasses to see the design and in that way, the entire world in a diffeerent way.
Madhuri at Xperian makes it smoother than you can imagine. She is ultra-responsive and takes care of everything. The Visual Design, Typography knowledge from Arjun is phenomenal. His passion and love for design are infectious.
Also, the team at Xperian has had several years of experience designing for the multi-million dollar companies so what you learn is not just theory but Industry grade design knowledge which is hard to get.
Basically, if you are serious about learning design, just go and sign up! period.
If you're looking for a course that will bring you to Industry standards for Digital Product Design. This is it!
I took this course this year and I can see a tremendous amount of improvement in my design skills (Both soft + hard skills) This course is so nicely balanced between the UX and UI aspects of Product Design.
It teaches you the value of each step involved in the process of designing a product. And Karthi (Course Instructor) is an excellent teacher of design. If you don't already love design, you'll fall in love because of the way she teaches the subject.
2020 was the pandemic year and it is this year that I undertook the PMI program from Xperian.
Right from the beginning Xperian provided a mindmap of what will be covered during the course.
During the course, we were taught different topics and were then given projects to work on in teams. These projects took our learning to a different level.
Complete support was provided during the entire course duration and even after that. The way I see products now has completely changed thanks to Xperian.
It is very hard to find a guru that would help you in transforming. Someone who believes in you and helps you to be a better version of yourself.
I remember day one of this coursework where all of us were excited to start learning aspects of design. But you cannot learn the subject just like that. You have to have that maker's hat on you and thus the mindset.
It was not just the modules to cover rather the experience was therapeutic. Definitely, this helped me to deep dive into the subject with the right pair of eyes. Every day I learned something new. The mantra was to be 1% better every day, to go into the depths of behaviors, interactions, visuals, empathizing with the human mind, and crafting solutions.
And I believe that this helped me in transforming into a beautiful maker and thinker. Definitely, this coursework was a firm foundation.
Xperian is quite an experience 🙌
"A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning."- Brad Henry
Karthi perfectly aligns this quote with her teachings. Her super strong fundamentals makes you to dig back to roots and make you to feel the joy of learning the details.
Bigger picture on business and teaching the process towards solutions were a treasure for human centric problems.
One has to taste the honey to express it and I would say sitting in her classes lightens you up. Her way of connecting the dots of various topics were so ease and she designs it like arranging right puzzle.
DPDI was a life changing design experience both as a human approach towards human centric problems as well as a business product design specialist.
The wisest decision I have made in 2019 was to join Xperian.
If you are looking for GURU in Design then you should learn from Karthi. She is the most kind human being I have ever seen.
Karthi lives for Design and when you listen to her in classes you can visualize the concepts and that's how you learn Design. I feel lucky that I got a chance to learn from her.
One of the best things I did for myself was to get enrolled with Xperian’s DPDI.
The people, the teams, the whole learning experience is to keep for a lifetime.
The design education style is super adaptive and has given me the confidence that whatever I choose to do I can do it well.
I have found my lifelong relationship with learning, through Xperian.
Karthi has been one of the most significant influences in my life. By every definition, she is been what you would call a mentor.
The best thing that has happened to me this year is learning product design from Karthi. She loves what she does and you can see that love in her classes.
That passion to make us all designers is what motivated us to keep going! I started seeing products and life much differently.
Xperian, one of a kind product design schools out there especially relevant for the current times. The kind I have been wishing for in the current education system. The value delivery is of prime importance to Xperian. In my opinion, they have redefined education at its core.
Classes are designed like products. They keep iterating the process constantly depending upon how the students react. They understand the learning style of each student. As each of us has a different learning pattern, individual attention is paid to each student & that too 24 * 7. That is the reason they do only one program a year in each domain & max 24 students only.
I am thankful that I got to be part of this program. If anyone is wishing to join the program, I would suggest this mantra: "learn to unlearn first", only then you can feel the magic & you will see the world from new pair of eyes.
I am excited to see what new things they will come to DPDI 2020. I know this much that our 12 weeks boot camp has already become 36 weeks. I want to closely observe more as an alum.
For true lovers of design, I would highly recommend this program.
Along with Xperian, let's raise the bar of design together!
We have invited Karthi to teach our Postgraduate (MDes) students of Transportation & Automobile design July 2018 for 2-week course module on HMI (Human Machine Interface), knowing her background in Cognitive science.
She has delivered the inputs of this complex subject very effectively, her presentation and preparation for the course material was professional.
She brought her vast industry experience and shared her passion for design thinking with our students with utmost honesty. I reckon she has inspired all the students in such as short span, making them wish to learn more from her.
A very humble and true design educator. Looking forward to having you more often at NID.
