          Ningnan Ye has performed brilliantly in her role, demonstrating that she is highly organized with excellent time management skills. She has quickly adapted to the office and design changes, paying great attention to detail.

          Her contribution to the team was massive, in terms of concept development and production of delivery materials. I was particularly impressed by her great talent in graphic sensibility.

This exam, a prerequisite for legal practice in Italy, is particularly notable given the exam's low pass rate of 38.48%-53% from 2013 to 2021, and the additional challenge of it being conducted in Italian.

2023 | She initially assumed her future would be
in architecture, but everything shifted when she discovered Product Design.
It resonated deeply with her core values and design vision in a way architecture never did. She even told her friend that she'd 'divorced' architecture. It's that serious...

She was previously enrolled in Google's UX Design course, and she is currently pursuing two different courses in her spare time :

The Practical User Research Masterclass for Product Designers and The Ultimate Figma & UI Masterclass, both at The Designership.

Don't hesitate to contact her , she doesn't mind if you use Nokia
