"Working with Carol Nix has been one of the best experiences I have had as a professional designer. Carol is not only an amazing designer and entrepreneur….she created CODE | UX Studio at NC State University College of Design and is responsible for championing a shared cause of collaborative user experience design education. Carol's boldness in creating this program is testament to her perseverance, skill and tenacity. CODE is an environment where students have the opportunity to work side by side with cross-disciplinary students, faculty and professionals and to be exposed to real-life problems that impact the bottom line. I am proud to be part of her adventure and I look forward to many more years of collaboration."
