Each designer brings unique talents and experience to the table and through one-on-one discussions, portfolio reviews, and skill assessments, we identify areas where designers might need improvement. This personalized approach allows us to tailor our training programs to meet the specific needs of each employee.

    Knowledge sharing with the team in very important here at Broworks, that’s why we regularly organize in-house workshops where team members can share their expertise and experience amount, fellow teammates.

  4. Mentorship and coaching
    The most experienced team members at Broworks take on mentorship roles to guide others, less experienced members, with helpful advice and constructive feedback. This approach provides professional growth to all our members.

  5. Cross-Training opportunities
    We encourage our members to explore different design roles for a more comprehensive understanding of our creative process. For example, our UX designer dabbled in UI design in order to understand how that kind of design is applied in our agency, which eventually helped her improve her understanding and work process.
  6. Project-based learning
    We believe that the best way to learn something is by doing it, therefore we support this type of learning the most. It allows our designers to learn new skills from real-world projects and boost their confidence.
