    Eugenio was quite instrumental in helping me better understand the fundamentals of Adobe Illustrator. From his guidance and instruction, I believe I am better prepared to enter my dream job with the required skill set.

  • Philip Firth Jul 26, 2024

    Couldn't be happier with the experience. Eugenio was engaging and knowledgable. The class covered a range of topics, and was a perfect introduction to Adobe Illustrator.

  • Hope L. Jul 17, 2024

    Eugenio is a great instructor, and taught a great class! This was a really great chance to refresh my skills with Illustrator, learn some new things, and use this course as a way to professionally develop in my career.

  • Sandrine Plympton Mar 12, 2024

    I'm extremely satisfied with the class led by Eugenio and Noble Desktop. I've gained a lot of knowledge and skills throughout the course. Eugenio's explanations were clear and concise, making it easy for me to understand complex concepts. The projects provided in the class were excellent opportunities to experiment and try out new techniques in Illustrator. Overall, I've seen significant improvement in my abilities, and I'm grateful for the quality of instruction provided by Eugenio. I highly recommend their classes to anyone looking to enhance their skills in Illustrator or any other design software.

  • Je’Jae Mizrahi Feb 11, 2024

    If you're into graphic design, you have got to take this class!

  • Rebecca Levin Jan 31, 2024

    Excellent course, exceeded my expectations!

  • Stanley Williams Sep 30, 2023

    I feel much more confident using Illustrator after taking this class and appreciate how Eugenio combined stories from his real-life work experience with his deep technical knowledge to create an engaging and informative class.

  • Marissa Sozio Sep 25, 2023

    After taking the class, I feel confident opening up the program on my own and creating projects that start as ideas and unfold into visual pieces!

  • Karly Lunda Aug 3, 2023

    This class really boosted my knowledge of graphic design and the Adobe Suite. The pacing was excellent and the assignments were challenging.

  • Daniela Wolfert Jul 7, 2023

    Absolutely loved my experience in this class! I learned so much about Adobe and how to use their products to build a custom portfolio that I can send to future employers. Very excited to see where my newfound skills will take me and how I can continue to evolve those skills!

  • Karina Bonilla Jun 20, 2023

    I learned a lot about Illustrator, and I highly recommend Noble Desktop for Adobe courses. The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient.

  • Yas Newgren Jun 13, 2023

    This class is so much better than I thought it would be. I will consider more classes and absolutely recommend it to anyone who might be interested in advancing their skills. I originally thought of this as just learning an adjacent skill for my work, but I'm so excited about learning more that I'm considering to continue learning about Graphic Design and getting more into the programs than just kind of knowing my way around. Eugenio is very knowledgeable and such a great teacher. I'm getting so much more out of this class than I expected. So happy I went in person! It really seems they care and try hard to make it a wonderful in-person experience. Everything is clean, great equipment, nice space design. From the start, the communication has been incredibly quick and great, no matter whether I used chat on the site or email. I have only good things to say about this class and Noble Desktop. Thank you all so much for making this such a great experience!

  • Stanley Williams May 15, 2023

    Eugenio is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and talented. He shared lots of industry insight and made the class interesting beyond simply learning the skills in the programs. I would definitely recommend taking a class led by Eugenio.

  • Cheyenne B. Mar 8, 2023

    The course is very robust and full of practice exercises. Great way to learn and practice outside of class. I enjoy that we have two sets of materials: those that are related to the book and those that we use in class. Both are perfect for learning and understanding the full capabilities of the program. Overall, I enjoyed it! I had fun and learned a lot. I can already tell that my workflow and quality have improved.

  • Johnathan Xelo Mar 1, 2023

    One word to describe this course: AMAZING!!! I learned a lot from the professor and got to experience great work by my classmates. Totally recommend it.

  • Rebecca Benedict Dec 12, 2022

    I can confidently say I absolutely understand Adobe Illustrator and I think I’m more excited to see what I can do with it now that I’ve learned so much. I feel confident that I can have a job where I need to use Illustrator.

  • Rebecca Benedict Dec 12, 2022

    I’m completing the Graphic Design Certificate feeling like I have direction. I am inspired and excited, and I entered this course feeling like I had no idea where I was going to go from here - I just knew I had to start with a certification of some sort. It was a huge shift for me, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it and needs a change in their work life.

  • Miguel Guzman Dec 9, 2022

    This class was very informative and fun to take! I learned how to use the main Adobe programs and learned many new skill sets while completing my portfolio work. Excellent class.

  • Joana Miranda Dec 9, 2022

    Taking the Graphic Design Certificate course has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The teachers are top-notch, yet relatable and always helpful. I've learned an incredible amount in a short span of time, and I'm already seeing results from the hard work I put in. Lastly, the environment both on campus and for remote learning via Zoom was always comfortable and friendly.

  • Irena Zharova Nov 30, 2022

    I am not afraid of Illustrator anymore! I liked this class a lot. After trying plenty of Google and YouTube tips and tutorials, I realized that I needed hands-on training with a live instructor. It is not enough to follow YouTube videos for gaining real experience—they create a false feeling of know-how that doesn't manifest in real projects. I am very happy that my organization paid for this course, and it was worth every penny they spent because I can now do my needed job projects confidently.

  • Miguel Guzman Oct 27, 2022

    This course was great, covered many topics, and included assignments that helped me understand Illustrator very well.

  • Katrina M. Oct 20, 2022

    Eugenio was an excellent instructor who went in-depth in Illustrator, giving us numerous and necessary pieces of information to prepare us to use Illustrator on our own. He taught with detail and yet was incredibly helpful with our questions throughout the whole program. In addition, we received books that we can learn from. I feel it was an apropos amount to prepare us for a career requiring the use of Illustrator.
