A UX/UI Bootcamp is highly demanding and requires a lot of sacrifice, commitment, and discipline, skills that a few possess, like Eric Olsen, my student who from the very beginning of our GWU Bootcamp demonstrated great design skills and commitment in each of his projects. Eric also has great skills as a leader, who can drive the team he is working with to the successful completion of a design solution. With his background in psychology, he has been a great asset to any design project since his UX research skills are superb.
