Lea Zheng
“Lindsay is such a great mentor. She always responds with feedback fast. I feel supported, and learned a lot in the Launch program. She is very patient, open-minded, encouraging, especially resourceful.  She gave me tons of helpful resources in industry standards for me to learn the most in a short time. Every week there are clear steps/instructions to follow. I’m so happy to see the growth under her mentoring. Thank you Lindsay!”

“The project has been going great so far, I really like the team and we've even started talking about employment so that's been really amazing!
I really wanted to thank you for the opportunity, with the job market being so nuts right now I feel really fortunate and it's been such a great learning experience.  I just feel really appreciative of you and Basil.”

Kyra Catabay
“Working with a real business, being able to talk to real customers, working with developers -- having these experiences are key for interviewing and being able to draw upon stories.
In interviews, I was also able to talk about experiences with talking to customers and using a side project to further develop my UX/UI skills.”
Basil is for you if you...
Struggle to create a portfolio that gets you noticed
Many UX designers find it challenging to stand out in applications without projects that showcase their business acumen and real-world impact. Your unique skills and creativity deserve to shine, not blend in with the crowd.
Find it hard to secure and succeed in interviews
Even with excellent technical skills, presenting your work effectively in the resume and during interviews can be daunting. It’s frustrating when you know your value but can’t convey it to potential employers.

      “I signed up for job opportunities in May and have received a few offers since. I'm starting one next week and am excited to learn a lot from it.

      Suki Liang
      "Working on a real experience project at a startup was fantastic. It was fast-paced and challenging, but the best part was being able to connect directly with a stakeholder. Their feedback was invaluable and helped me see the bigger picture.
      By combining data analysis and strategic assumptions, we could effectively guide design decisions. This approach is valuable and can be applied to future projects with limited user research time."
      UX designer
      Emily Walker
      “One of the highlights was the collaborative spirit at the startup. Direct access to the leadership team, the CEO, CTO, and CMO, allowed for open communication and a shared vision. Witnessing how my design decisions directly impacted the company's direction was incredibly motivating."
