Overview
You can't learn UX Design from a book or a lecture. You need to get your hands dirty by working on real projects.
In this course, I'll teach you the fundamentals technique of UX Design, like wireframing, persona mapping, and usability testing, by doing three real-world projects.
Project 1: App Critique
- Dissect the user experience of your favourite app
- Create user personas to empathize with users
- Map out user journeys and task flows to identify frictions in the UX
Project 2: Usability Test
- Test a product with a real user!
- Learn how to create screener tests to remove bias
- Develop task lists to inform and synthesize findings into a usability report
Project 3: Design Your First App
- Design a low-fidelity solution to a real problem you've identified
- Wireframe your own application from scratch
- Add interactions that create a clickable prototype
At the end of this course, you'll have learned the core ideas to become a user experience designer. Importantly, you'll leave the course with three portfolio-ready projects to kickstart your UX Design career.
