Testimonials

  • “We worked with Sundy to create a custom workshop for my team focused on the foundational principles of experience design research. We covered methodologies, best practices, how to synthesize and ultimately storytell for impact. Sundy put together a wonderful session that my team, which ranged from experienced to nascent practioners, all found incredible value in. We constantly reference the concepts and practical frameworks from our workshop!”
