This course is aimed at people new to design, new to User Interface and User Experience design. Even if you’re not totally sure what UI/UX really means, don’t worry. We’ll start right at the beginning and work our way through step by step.

• First we’ll define what the differences are between UI and UX design

• Then you’ll learn what user centered design is and what makes design “good”

You will walk through the UX & UI design process from start to finish as you complete your class project all the way through to the end.

Once finished with your project you will learn some crucial insights about getting hired in the industry and use the results of your project to build your very own design portfolio.

We’ll be focusing on the software Figma but I’ll make sure to explain the techniques & terms commonly used in the UI/UX industry.
