Learn the fundamentals of User Experience (UX) research and design. Become immersed in the UX process of identifying problems and iterating and testing designs to find appropriate solutions. You’ll learn how to empathize with users through best-practice research approaches, and create common UX artifacts such as user personas. And you’ll use UX insights to make appropriate design decisions. By utilizing the User Interface (UI) design process, you will be able to create wireframes for features in Figma, and turn them into Minimum Viable Product (MVP) style prototypes from your mockups. You’ll also learn the core principles of design such as hierarchy and the use of grids. By the end of this course you will be able to: • Design digital products that create value and solve a user's problems in meaningful ways. • Recognize what constitutes successful UX UI and evaluate existing interfaces for design consistency and quality. •  Identify best practice interaction design methods and evaluate and improve your own and others' designs. •  Create, share and test your UX UI designs following best practice guidelines. This is a beginner course for learners who would like to prepare themselves for a career in UX UI development. To succeed in this course, you do not need prior development experience, only basic internet navigation skills and an eagerness to learn.

Syllabus

Introduction to UX and UI Design
- Learn the difference between UX and UI and how they work together. Set up Figma, get comfortable with the interface, and practice user-centered thinking by creating a simple user persona.
Evaluating Interactive Design
- Learn practical ways to review and improve interfaces. You’ll apply evaluation methods (including accessibility considerations) to identify usability issues and recommend clear design improvements.
Applied Design Fundamentals
- Build core UI skills in Figma and apply design fundamentals like hierarchy, typography, and grids. You’ll create wireframes and plan an iterative approach, including drafting a basic usability test.
Designing your UI
- Turn wireframes into higher-fidelity screens and an interactive prototype. You’ll create reusable UI components, apply design-system thinking, and prepare your design for sharing and testing.
Course Summary and Final Assessment
- Bring everything together in a final assessed project. You’ll demonstrate your end-to-end process and reflect on what you’ve learned and your next steps in UX/UI.
