Treehouse Festival Day 1 was so incredibly awesome!

We're still buzzing off the good vibes of the first day of the Festival. And the week has only just begun! It's not too late to join us for this free week of free learning and networking. Below is a quick recap of what we covered today—see you tomorrow!

Day 1 of the Festival

Shoutout to our amazing speakers for the wealth of knowledge and wisdom they shared today. Here are a few of our favorite takeaways:

“As the designer, you want to be curious about the user, you want to be curious about the back and technology as well as the business aspect of things. Whatever you create usually is an outcome of all of these things, and having the understanding will help you advocate and create the best experience possible.”

– Thiveya Muthu

“When I found Treehouse, I pretty much knew right away with the videos, the quizzes, the community, that it was 100% for me from the get-go... I felt equipped and prepared every single step of the way.”

– Whitley Bone

“Because being part of working on a team and collaborating is being humble and not working with an ego, and just letting everybody know where you are along the way.”

– Micheleh Souvannaratvongseuk

“You may struggle a little bit. But know that as you are struggling, you are growing and you are learning. You may try out 50 different ways to get to one solution and it not work out, but at least you know 50 different ways to figure out a solution to something.”

– Olivia Auzenne
