They are Dawsan Nomero Maulando and Keisha Mayra Faiza Amaris Hermawan from the Media Production Study Program, and Thariq Arsyad Fauzi from the Public Relations Study Program.

At CX Insight, they gained new experience in design, event management, UI/UX research, to marketing.
In the marketing department, Fauzi studied content planning, data analysis, and interviewing resources for company needs. Meanwhile, Hermawan and Maulando studied the application of HCI and design in digital/print media design and UX research fields.
