"Absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better design mentor :-) Youmna gave me very helpful feedback as soon as I submitted my assignments, and led highly informative (yet fun) weekly Skype sessions. She gave me lots of resources, tips, and suggestions that helped me "see" things better. Youmna was a big part of the reason I had such a terrific first experience with Designlab!"

"Youmna is very knowledgeable and above all, extremely passionate about design. It just shows. She also likes to teach, even to beginners such as myself. Her comments were straight to the point, she was not afraid to point out flaws in my work. I feel she is honest. This is precisely what I was looking for when I signed up for the course. Thank you Youmna!"
