UI/UX Design
Walk the full design path from understanding users to polished UI. You leave with a portfolio project and the habits employers expect from junior product and UX designers.
About this track
UI/UX is how digital products get shaped around real behaviour. In this track you move through research, structure, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and visual design. The stack matches what teams use day to day: Figma at the centre, plus workshop boards and light validation when it helps. The point is not decoration. It is clarity: screens people understand and flows that hold up under use. You work on a real brief from the first week and revise from feedback like you would on the job.
Who this track is for
Graphic designers, illustrators, or communicators who want to move into product and UX work.
People with degrees in design, psychology, communication, or related fields looking to apply their thinking to product work.
Product managers, developers, or marketers who want to understand design thinking and collaborate more effectively.
What you will learn
Organised into modules that build on each other. The content is structured, not arbitrary.
Design thinking and user research
- What UX design is and where it sits in the product process
- User research methods: interviews, surveys, and observation
- Synthesising research into clear problem definitions
- Understanding information architecture and user flows
Wireframing and prototyping
- Lo-fi wireframing: sketching and structure before polish
- Communicating design decisions to stakeholders and developers
- Building interactive prototypes in Figma
- Testing prototypes and iterating on feedback
Visual design principles
- Typography, colour theory, and spacing fundamentals
- Grid systems and visual hierarchy
- Accessibility basics in visual design
- Designing for different screen sizes and contexts
Design systems, handoff, and validation
- Component-based design thinking and reusable systems in Figma
- Preparing developer-ready handoff: specs, assets, and annotations
- Documenting research and decisions in Notion or Google Docs
- Light usability validation with Maze or an equivalent tool
Tools & technologies we use
Figma leads. Everything else supports workshops, tidy research notes, and quick checks on what you designed.
Figma
Primary tool for UI, variants, auto-layout, prototyping, and design-system thinking.
FigJam or Miro
User flows, journey maps, and workshop activities with stakeholders and mentors.
Notion or Google Docs
Research notes, interview summaries, and decision logs that stay organised as the project evolves.
Maze or equivalent
Quick usability checks on prototypes so you learn from real behaviour, not assumptions.
Core tools used in the track are free-tier accessible. You do not need paid licences to complete the programme.
How the learning works
Not self-paced video content. A structured programme with real outputs and structured feedback.
Project-led from day one
You work on a real design brief throughout the track, applying each concept as you learn it, not in disconnected exercises.
Structured mentor sessions
Regular review sessions with feedback on your work. You get critique that is specific and useful, not generic praise.
Iterative workflow
Each phase builds on the previous one. You will revise and refine, because that is how design actually works.
What this prepares you for
Realistic, honest expectations. The track gives you foundation and practice. What you do with it determines what comes next.
A portfolio-ready case study from your bootcamp project
Confidence working through the design process from research to high-fidelity in Figma and supporting tools
Ability to present and defend design decisions
Foundation for junior UX/UI designer, product designer, or UX researcher roles
