Student Success Story: Nour Jabra

Nour completed our 12-Week full-time UX/UI Career Development Bootcamp in December 2022. She has recently been offered a Senior UX & UI Designer position at EPC Improvements.

We caught up with her recently to see how the course helped her achieve her goals and her pearls of wisdom for any budding product designers.

Tell us a bit more about what you were doing before you decided to pivot into design?

I co-founded two startups in E-commerce and EdTech where I had the opportunity to build businesses from the ground up. This experience allowed me to work directly with strategic partners such as the World Bank, UNICEF, the Ministry of Education and Beirut Digital District.  

How was training at Experience Haus different from other providers?

There was deep involvement in practical design projects that goes beyond traditional theoretical learning. 

What was the highlight of your course?

I’m most proud of redesigning and consolidating the complex app ecosystem for our insurance client, Vitality. I also had the opportunity to address their long-standing issue of neurodivergent inclusivity.  

What was the most challenging part of your learning experience?

Learning how to effectively collaborate with other designers. Navigating task delegation based on each person’s expertise and talent, aligning out perspectives, and bringing out the best in each other were initially difficult but ultimately offered invaluable lessons in teamwork and leadership.
