The Sand Dollar Design Graduate Programme is aimed at identifying and developing a new generation of designers and business leaders that are empowered to transform the digital landscape.
“Being a part of the Sand Dollar Design graduate program in 2019 was a total privilege. Under the teams’ guidance I grew in my knowledge of the Human Centred Design process and subsequently matured as a designer. Comparing the quality of the work that I deliver now, to that which I delivered before joining Sand Dollar Design is exciting because I can clearly see how much I have grown. The graduate program will expose you to UX best practice presented by true industry experts who are invested in your success and growth as an individual.”
