UI/UX Design

Design interfaces people can actually use — from research and wireframes to a clickable prototype.

Beginner 6 weeks 12 live sessions Live online

Overview

This course teaches interface design the way it is practised in a working studio. You start with the people who will use the product, sketch quickly and cheaply, then build up to a high-fidelity, clickable prototype in Figma.

Every session is live and hands-on. You bring a real product idea on day one and leave with a designed, testable version of it.

What you will be able to do

  • Run a short discovery interview and turn what you hear into design decisions
  • Sketch and wireframe a full user flow before touching visual design
  • Build a reusable component library and design system in Figma
  • Apply layout, typography, colour and spacing with intent rather than by taste
  • Design mobile-first for small screens and slow connections
  • Produce a clickable prototype and run a usability test on it
  • Hand designs over to developers in a way they can build from
