The main goal is to make you a beginner no more and instead an employment-ready designer that can explain every design choice through user-centered research and good design principles. You’ll get hands-on practice conducting competitive research, planning and executing effective user interviews, and distilling insights into user personas, journey maps, and user flows. The curriculum focuses on iterative design, and you’ll learn to sketch, wireframe, and create interactive prototypes to test your hypotheses and iterate on your ideas based on actual feedback. Upon completion of this certificate, you’ll have the confidence to take on tough design challenges and develop a killer portfolio showcasing your real-world problem-solving capabilities, getting you ready for jobs such as UX Designer, UI Designer, or Product Designer.
The course is a hands-on, project-based experience that simulates the working designer’s process. You will start with becoming industry-standard-competent in software, in this case, mastering Figma to design visual UI and interactive prototypes. UX foundations are addressed via modules on heuristic evaluation, competitive analysis, and user interview methodologies, culminating in the development of personas and journey maps. The UI foundations part gives a solid background in visual design, such as color theory, typography, grid layout, and an overview of popular UI patterns and web and mobile design trends. Much of the course is spent on prototyping and user testing, where you’ll learn testing methods, implement feedback,, and mature your designs into a polished, final case study for your portfolio. The course concludes with business-oriented schooling in the design business, creating a portfolio website, and getting ready for jobs so you’re able to clearly present your work to prospective employers. Through one-on-one mentoring and critiques, you will receive individualized support in refining your projects and becoming job-ready in the competitive field of UX/UI design.
