UI/UX Design Foundations

Design thinking, layout, typography, colour and Figma prototyping, ending with a portfolio-ready case study.

Learn to design interfaces people can actually use. We start with research and information architecture, then move into visual craft and prototyping in Figma.

The cohort ends with a full case study: problem, process, screens and outcome: the single most useful artefact in a design portfolio.
