Hi Hunters,
I’m Harish, co-founder of Designlab, and I’m super excited to share our brand new online course with you: UX Academy Foundations, which we've been working on for the past year 🚀
We've learned over the past few years that UI design details are often challenging for complete beginners to the design field to master. We wanted to launch a fun but rigorous intro course to help beginners flex their skills and build creative confidence, while also learning to *really* see design details and gain mastery over foundational skills (like using Figma and Sketch).
We’ve had over 700 students successfully participate in beta cohorts of UX Academy Foundations—and we’ve iterated a lot. We've refined the course to include the best possible exercises to help people learn to see design details and build their practical design skills through copywork, reflection, sketching, ideation, and mentorship from amazing designers. As Picasso famously (reportedly) said: "Good artists copy" 👩🎨.
Key features of Foundations include:
🏡 99% learning materials created in-house, including new video tutorials
✍️ >30 practical assignments
👩🏫 8 1-on-1 video sessions with an expert design mentor, and continuous written feedback in between
📹 Built-in Figma and Sketch tutorials
🕺🏾 Online community via Slack and peer video sessions
📆 Flexible 4-8 week course duration (minimum of 10 hours per week)
Our goal with our flagship course, UX Academy, has always been to build the highest-quality online design training program for career switchers. UX Academy Foundations is a big step towards that mission, as an in-depth intro course that’s unique in the industry in its depth and rigor. 🏆
If you've ever considered a design career change or just want an in-depth course to give you a great foundation in UI, check out this course. Ask me anything, look forward to hearing what you think! 😄
