Read what Filip, a proud graduate of the YSYS & @GoogleUK UX Design Scholarship had to say about his time with us! 🌟

”Completing the YSYS and Google UX Design Scholarship significantly enhanced both my knowledge and confidence.

The hands-on projects and the association with Google added a level of credibility to my skills.

Thanks to this scholarship, I secured an internship at a London tech company.

This opportunity has provided me with a strong foundation upon which I can continue to build and expand my knowledge in the future.

It's been a career-changing experience, and I'm excited to apply my expertise in a real-world setting.” by @thisisysys
