FOR WHOM

UX hackathon is for you if

You want to continue your UX education, but a new bootcamp is too expensive and long.

You have only 2 projects in your portfolio, but you don’t know where to find project ideas.

You are not satisfied with your portfolio projects, you want to create a case study you will be proud of.

You switch from graphic design, and you don’t need a UX bootcamp, you just need to design portfolio projects.

Recruiters don’t reply you back, and you want to stand out.

Your portfolio projects are under NDA, and you need to show your best in your portfolio.

If you are looking for a first UX education — the UX hackathon is not for you.
