I started practicing OOUX in 2018, and have never looked back. Even five years later, it remains the most powerful tool I have in my design toolkit, and is the first thing I recommend to new designers when they ask me how to build their UX skills. Working with clients across many industries on projects at all levels of complexity, OOUX has been a unifying force for awesomeness. It has allowed me to quickly bring cross-functional teams of business stakeholders, executives, marketers, developers, and architects to a shared understanding and common language on any project or initiative. OOUX has a failure rate of exactly 0% across every project I've used it on, regardless of how much of the methodology I've been able to apply. It has become key to my happiness as a designer, and I wouldn't ever want to be without it.
I was already 100% sold on, and actively practicing, OOUX prior to this certification course. That said, one thing I know about Sophia is she's always optimizing, so I knew I'd still learn a lot (and I did). For me, OOUX is a pure power tool of a design methodology, and we've truly not found a single downside to it in our application of it thus far. Adding a certification at this point was both to continue to enhance my knowledge of the methodology, expand my OOUX network, and also lend further credibility to the OOUX work I'm already doing (and will continue to do). As far as I'm concerned, this is just one milestone in a long relationship and love affair with OOUX, and I'm looking forward to continuing to use it, teach it, and evangelize for it at every opportunity.
