UX Design Overview Training

User Experience (UX) should be a core concern in every digital design project. If the user's experience of our work is not enjoyable or doesn't make sense, we can surely not blame them if they reject our products or services.

This applies to every participant in the process - graphic designer, engineer, developer or business owner. So whether you're an aspiring designer new to the field of UX design, a professional working in other design sub-disciplines looking to transition into a career in UX design, a student keen to understand the importance of UX, or a product manager who wants to build user-centered products that stand out from the competition, our UX Design course is for you.

Our one day course covers the foundation principles for creating successful user experiences. Through hands-on exercises we experiment and explore space, form, and function to apply successful UX design on modern platforms and devices. Participants gain experience in planning and prototyping through typical UX design workflows. Topics covered include UX design overview, UX design workflows, Design fundamentals, Sketching screens, pages and interactions and Building a prototype.
