Course at a glance

Who is this for?

For beginners exploring user experience design and people who want a structured view of the design process. The concepts remain useful across design tools; some recorded interfaces and Adobe XD demonstrations reflect older software versions.

Put the ideas into practice

Choose one everyday task, sketch a simple user flow, and create a small clickable prototype with a tool you already have. Ask someone to attempt the task, observe difficulties, and document one revision prompted by their feedback.
