“The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself... The more you learn, the more you'll earn.”

—Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway

How many items have you added to your Black Friday shopping wishlist? This year, instead of short-term deals on products, why not take a long-term view and follow Warren Buffet’s mantra and invest your hard-earned money in yourself? 

The term Black Friday was initially used to describe the start of the season when stores start going into the black—i.e. when they began to become profitable. While we appreciate that Black Friday is the start of the busiest and most profitable season for many businesses, we like to embrace it slightly differently.

We believe the world needs to be designed better. And to that end, we are on a mission to make high-quality UX design education accessible and affordable. What better time to give back to the design community than the start of the holiday season?

If you sign up for an IxDF membership this weekend, you’ll gain:

  • 25% discount on your first-year membership.

  • Access Our Top 5 Masterclasses—Normally $250, Now Yours for Free!

  • Access to our full range of 35 online UX design courses, plus every new course we launch.

This year alone, we added six brand new courses:

Here’s what our members have to say about their experience:

Quote from Magica Dimitrova via Twitter: I highly recommend to every UX designer to take the online course for User Research and to learn why and how to fit it into your own work processes.

Quote from Amanda Newman via Twitter: I've been taking a UX Management: Strategy and Tactics course from @interacting and finding it so incredibly valuable! It can be hard to make time for learning, but with the IxDF, I work on lessons over my two cups of morning coffee and still manage to feel accomplished.

The amount of money that’s globally spent over the Black Friday weekend continues to increase every year. Let’s work together to ensure it’s spent on something valuable—something that will help us design a better world.           

Treat yourself—and someone else—to a UX education this Black Friday by signing up for an IxDF membership.
