Me gustó. Curso bastante inspirador ya que Juan Dellacha va a transmitirte no sólo conocimientos técnicos sino su pasión por el diseño. Mención aparte los recursos adicionales muy bien pensados para aportar valor en la misma línea técnico/inspiracional. Otro de los instructores de Doméstika del que estaría bueno ver otros cursos.
