Design for change Reviews 26

DFC is next level and Jagadeesh is the best mentor I have come across my life; he gives a perfect roadmap towards growth in career and even overall personality growth through Design and technology.
Really Happy and blessed to be a part of this community.

Learned about so many AI tools to make our life easy not just as a designer but first as a human. Tools to help us keep on track of our goals and eradicate unnecessary tasks. This is really a holistic way of first improving you as a person, getting you on the right track and then turning you into the best of whatever you want to become. Love the way we are just directly thrown into practical try outs from which we get hands-on experience. Loving it so far and excited for everything that is yet to uncover! Thanks DFC for this massive break and eye opening learnings!

Joining and attending DFC sessions have definitely boosted my confidence and helping me learn latest nuances of Design field.
Thank you for a charged up session on AI tools and Automation for UX Designer.
My top take away from today's session are:
1. Automation is a helping hand. Learn it to help you do tasks that need more of your creative thought process.
2. Build your own system for organizing your daily life
3. Saying NO is not rude, it is respecting ownself
4. Set Goal >> HAve strong Values >> Prioritize tasks
5. Motivation is just a temporary thing. Do what is needed even if you do not like

I could say, DFC is one of the best student communities in India, lead by Jagadeesh. Not just the professional learnings but also mentors about a holistic way of approach which are really the great insights specially for those who are starting their careers and also who lost a track with career gaps. His AI knowledge sharings are next level. Wish you all the very best for your future endeavours and thank you for making an impact in students life.

"It's just not the solution, it's a scalable solution" I learn this thing from the DFC community

Really great to learn from Jagadessh!

About today's session on design process mastery, learnt a lot new perspective of thinking around the situation and problem gave in the meetings, got to know there are certain processes to be followed for our problem statements to go through.

Another thing wanted to mention is about hackathon which there should be clarity on the path this is going on. Like what we will be doing first UX then UI, as a beginner what you need to do or would have taught some basics of UX and UI for someone who has no idea but directly stepping into hackathon for learning. Right now it feels like doing whatever is asked and completing some college project. The submissions create more pressure as the deliverables have to be uploaded every week like a college project. You can directly connect to every team in zoom for understanding what is going on for much better clarity as on Monday only few teams can be addressed due to time constraints.

Taking this course was one of the most eye-opening experiences I’ve had. It’s not just theory , it’s incredibly realistic and practical. From day one, you get hands-on experience that pushes you to think beyond the surface and really understand how things work in the real world.

Throughout the journey, I had multiple reality-check moments that completely changed the way I approached problem-solving and research. It’s not sugar-coated , you actually get to see what the real process looks like, with all its challenges and breakthroughs.

Jagadeesh sir's guidance has been phenomenal. He dosen't just teach, he guides you step-by-step, share insights from real experiences, and show you the best and smartest ways to tackle every obstacle that comes your way. His feedback is genuine, constructive, and helps you grow in ways you don’t expect.

By the end, you don’t just learn, you evolve. You walk away with confidence, clarity, and a strong foundation built from actual work, not just lessons. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about learning through real impact and experience.

I feel that I'm learning something new day by day. even though I'm experienced person I don't feel that i know this already because my learning breaking down the ux with Realtime study. thank you for this

Regular sessions for all day to keep on learning as well as gaining knowledge in industry So lot of breakthroughs is happening in the community and today got learn about how the project should be organised and we need to align with team and got lot of insights to learn and grow

Hi I am Vimarao Pucha, today 3rd November in the 5th mission I have learn very important things like UX Research and provide how to provide solutions (spot given practical example like Dog ded bodies in the street and If Burn home to fire incident what will do initially process. I really exited today session

This is Gokulalakshmi, if you're the person who wants to solve the problem through design instead of focusing only on visuals, DFC is a game changing community for you.

We are having amazing sessions on thinking process, design process, and system thinking with real time examples like "what you do if your home is set in fire within 5min" "what you do if a dog is dead and nobody can come out because of the smell" - these questions sound simple, but it really hard to think in the present situation, you may sound, you do this, do that but the reality is you haven't know whether you do it (your answer). - With these type of live activity he made us think into the process and teach us to stand in the users toe.

Each and every penny worth.

If you are looking for figma, visual design - this is not the place for you. If you're want to solve problem thorugh design like how steve jobs does, don norman does, tap your shoulder buddy, you're on the right place

Today’s Design Process session reminded me that problem-solving is continuous — the more problems we tackle, the stronger our design thinking becomes.

✨ Since joining this community, I’ve gained a much clearer understanding of UX and its research aspects. The way Jagdeesh teaches each process is incredibly easy to understand and insightful. I feel even more confident and inspired to keep learning and growing here! 🙌 Thank You!

Today I learn alot things, wht techniques we have to applied for our projects, also we get clarity of research nd our projects for upcoming days.

3rd Nov 2025
Got some Insights on this hackathon session
takeways
1. Try another design process
2. Validation of problem statement
3. Situational-based questions

I was confused for my career and i want to transit from graphic designer background to UI/UX , as after joining the DFC community, the methods Jagadeesh used, the knowledge he gave is enough for the clarity. I was lucky that i joined when hackathon is about to start and i got lot of experience by participating in that and i transit my job as well from the methods and knowledge he shared and i got from community and now i am working as a UX specialist.

Very good and nice

The goal setting practice really helps me be clear about my goals. Jagadeesh Sir is one of the greatest mentors I have ever learnt from. Thanks a lot to Design For Change team for bringing such an amazing course to us.

I was so happy to Share my Experience with DFC the Mentor Jagadeesh true Motivator & he changed my way of thinking and made me a multi-Disciplinary Designer. I Would recommend to all who got frustrated because of unclear roadmap in your career.
