Craft stunning UI UX design as a digital product designer

I’ve seen many UX courses on the internet that only teach you tools like Figma and Adobe XD. I believe tools are easy to learn and there is enough documentation out there if you get stuck. There are also lessons specifically teaching android app design, ios app design etc. Then there are courses that explain UX concepts in the form of theory.

There are hardly any courses that teach core UX concepts in a practical manner, in a way that you would actually apply them if you are working as a UX designer in a company. That’s why, I created this course.

Welcome to the most practical UX course for beginners ever.

As the name suggests, this course teaches UX design in a practical manner, loaded with a ton of real world examples and hands-on activities. While I may briefly touch upon tools and platforms now and then, my major focus is to enable you to become a good UX designer who can apply the knowledge across any platform and use any tool of your choice.

• Junior or mid-level designers who want to level up in their UX careers. You might be just doing UI work and wants to do more of UX or product thinking. You might already be a UX designer but not feeling very confident about your work. What does it take for you to go to the next level in your ux career? what is it that you are missing? How can you get better at your craft? This course could help with some of these scenarios.

• Great UX designers but struggling to make beautiful UI. You see, both aesthetics and functionality are important and this course covers both aspects of design - the how it looks and how it works.

• Folks who want to become UX designers, who want to venture into the UX industry but have absolutely no clue of how or where to start. Well, this course is definitely a starting point.

• A lot of folks still don’t know what a UX designer does. could be artists, visual designers, software engineers, pms etc. This course will provide insights into the life of a UX designer, how we go about in our day to day life and see whether it interests you or not and whether you want to get into this field or not.

• Designers who are struggling to crack whiteboard design challenge rounds in interviews. The process we follow in this course for designing a product can very well be applied for solving any quick design challenge too.

• If you are already an established designer, then you may not find this course super helpful.

I designed this course with an imaginary scenario in mind. You will start the course as if you joined an imaginary startup as a designer, and start designing their product from scratch. You'll first learn the business objectives, then understand the user goals, brainstorm ideas on how to marry these together and create wireframes and visual design artefacts.  We'll see how to work with other cross functional partners including product managers and engineers along the way. We'll also learn about common design constraints, and how to analyse or measure a design. So, basically you'll get a complete experience of the end to end UX process. 

While I'll be explaining with a specific example, I'll also give you an assignment at the end of each section where you can apply the knowledge you've learned into another problem statement that you can work on parallely.  And that could eventually even become your portfolio project at the end of the course.

Hello,

My name is Ravi. I'm a self-taught and passionate digital product designer with more than a decade of experience. I had really humble beginnings in this feild. I began my design career long back at a time when UX wasn't a field people were considering or took seriously. I was initially doing graphic and web design works before transitioning fully into UI/UX and product design roles. Once I made this shift, there was no turning back. It was one of the most significant decisions I've made, which helped me build a career that has been rewarding so far. Presently, I work as a Senior designer at Google. Since I have been there, done that, I feel motivated to share my knowledge and expertise here with young and upcoming designers. Given my diverse experience working in startups and MNCs, across different domains, I think I can really help out young people out there who are looking to venture into UX or advance in their UX careers.
