Somia Academy

We Empower Talents
and Organisations

This is what we practice and we would like to share what we do. We are design practitioners with an aspiration to help organizations and individuals adopt and embed a human-centered design (HCD) approach into their day-to-day work.

Public Classes

Whether you are curious about the Human-Centered Design approach or looking to hone your skills, we have the right program for you. Our classes are not just from theory or textbooks but designed to help you get out of your chair and to practice!

Somia provides design thinking training with real case study, which helps us to fully grasp the Product Manager’s role. After the training, we apply the approach to produce usable and required features for GetPlus consumers.

In Somia, you learn by doing! The curriculum is not set up like a rigid text book training, it flows very naturally so you don’t feel stressed by the massive amount of the knowledge being planted in your brain :p Its amazing how much we learned in the course, we could easily see the flaws in our old way of doing things. Major flaws we wouldn’t have even recognized before… Can’t wait to take the advanced class.

To be one of the participants in Somia UX Design Workshop was really a life-changing experience for me. I was exposed to a whole new perspective on how to really create a product that both works for your customers as well as effective for your company. It was like I’ve found the missing piece of my work. Somia nailed it!

What makes Somia Academy’s online course stand out is the fact that we are given a weekly assignment with a real problem from a client. As a result, I got to directly implement the course reading materials and identify the challenge and knowledge gaps that I have within the course duration.

The reason why I joined this batch is because I learned so much from the previous batch and the things I learned brought so much insight to my role at work. The materials are detailed, the homework is challenging (in a good way), and the knowledge is tangible. Keep up the good work, Somia!

I am impressed with the material coverage of this course. Not only it’s providing a clear structure of Design Research, but also trying to address and equip participants with various ways of doing and thinking.The concepts are well-conducted throughout the course and Q&A sessions which had successfully provoked my curiosity to follow them up further and apply them to weekly assignments as necessary.
