About your trainer
Rebecca’s research career started out in Animal Behaviour at Oxford University, focussing on decision making and risk sensitivity. After making the switch from animals to humans and market research, Rebecca joined Bunnyfoot, where for the last 10 years, she has been helping clients put their customers at the heart of their design process, resulting in more usable, engaging and profitable user experiences.
Really enjoyed the course at Bunnyfoot! It gave me a good overview of human centred design, and our teacher helped us understand how this fitted with latest industry practice, and it put me in a good position for the exam!
The CPUX course was hugely insightful and I thoroughly enjoyed taking it. Learning directly from a practitioner and expert in the field was much more relevant and penetrating than you get with just a training course provider! I left with the knowledge and understanding that has allowed me to talk confidently to senior managers about human-centred design and user experience, and the certification really demonstrates my expertise in the field. Being armed with great set of tools in my toolkit, I can use these to improve processes and adopt an approach that is based around the customer/user, instead of business needs.
