Karen Hewell

Karen had such thoughtful feedback on my assignments. I could see she really took the time to read my thought process and dig out snippets in regards to where I could get more guidance to better understand the concepts. She's a great teacher in that she asks more questions to help us get to the solution (vs. presenting it to us) in an effort to hep us better understand the content. I also really appreciate  her encouragement near the end that helped me get to the finish line. Being sick for a couple weeks I really got myself behind and was worried I wouldn't catch up - and wasn't even going to attempt to take the test ... She really encouraged me and reminded me how much more I know than those having NEVER been exposed to this content - and that I probably know more than I realize ;) Her feedback in the Prioritization round just helped me get over that self-doubt hump. Letting me think out loud and working it out with me was so critical! Thank you Karen!!!!

Karen provided thoughtful feedback, but the most helpful moment was in a video session when she reinforced the fact that this process and work isn't meant to be 'perfect,' it's about learning, asking questions, and just experimenting.

Karen was extremely helpful during the course. She always provided prompt feedback on my assignments, which was super detailed and insightful. The 1-on-1 call I had with her was amazing. She had great empathy about the problems I had to deal with and gave her best advice. Such a great mentor!

Karen gave me super specific feedback about the areas I struggled with. We went through my homework assignments in person to talk it all out. She was also great when we met as a group and all showed up without concrete things to talk about - she asks us questions and got us to engage ... Also, I appreciated all the design therapy I got from Karen cause this class be hard sometimes!

I absolutely love working with Karen! Karen rocked my Object-Oriented UX Program and even while still in the program she was leading the charge on melding Content Strategy and OOUX. She's since taken it and run with it — and never ceases to blow my mind. Karen's always got great questions, fascinating ideas, and infectious enthusiasm for nerding-out on complex content. I am so thankful to have Karen in the OOUX world, growing the practice and customizing it for content pros. She's also just really fun to work with and be around. If you have big content mess problems and need someone to do some creative untangling, definitely work with Karen!
