Students feedback
I was very proud contributing to such an empowering program for women. Here is some of their feedback on my sessions.
I was with Fares as a trainee on the Tech Up Carreha scholarship. I really benefited greatly from his experience in the field of UX Design. As a lecturer, he has tremendous presentation skills and the ability to deliver information in the simplest ways. Based on that, I strongly recommend him as a lecturer to anyone who wants to learn this field.
