Hi. My name's Stuart Palmer. I live in Sydney, Australia,
and I've been doing the IxDF courses for about 12 months now.
I was looking to pivot my career into a tech startup,
and I started to Google some job ads,
and I saw one that recommended an  exposure to design thinking would be really good.
With some further searching, I found IxDF,  decided to sign up,
and I've been extremely pleased with the courses that I've done.
And I've done the executive stream – so far completed six courses.
And, in particular, the thing that I've learnt more than anything else
is how to make tech projects successful.

Over the years, I've done a number  of projects; some have been really good,
and some hadn't gone so well, and I didn't really know the reason why.
I was thinking particularly of a project I did a few years ago where we got very low penetration.
And, having done some of the courses now, I realize why that was;
it was because we never consulted the users during the project.
So, if you're looking to pivot your  career – as I did –
into something new or you just simply want to build up your skills in design thinking,
I can really recommend IxDF to you.
