Product Design & UX Research

This course introduces product design fundamentals, focusing on user-centered approaches to innovation. Learners will explore UX research methods such as interviews, surveys, and usability testing. Hands-on projects emphasize design thinking and iterative prototyping for real-world applications. Participants will master wireframing and prototyping using industry-standard tools. The program highlights user behavior analysis to inform design decisions. Ethical considerations in UX and accessibility ensure inclusive and responsible product development. By completion, students will be equipped to design intuitive, impactful products through research-driven insights.

  • Introduction to UX & Design Thinking
    Learn how to create human-centered products and services that are intuitive, useful, and enjoyable.
  • UX Research Methods & Data Gathering
    Learn the techniques used to gather data on user behaviors, needs, and motivations to inform product design and improve usability.
  • Ideation & Information Architecture (IA)
    Learn the foundational, sequential stages in user experience (UX) design that transform abstract concepts into organized, usable digital products.
  • Wireframing & Low-Fidelity Design
    Learn how to do the initial, rapid sketching phase of design that outlines a product's structure, layout, and functionality without colors, images, or detailed styling

  • Visual Design Fundamentals
    Learn the core elements (line, shape, color, texture, space, typography) and principles (balance, hierarchy, contrast, scale, unity) used to create effective, engaging visual communication.
  • Figma Deep Dive & Auto Layout
