Beginner's Guide to UX Design
About This Workshop
Companies in diverse industries like retail, healthcare, and finance - to name a few - are searching for diverse UX Design talent. That could be you.
Join us for a free, 2-hour class to get hands-on practice with the fundamentals of UX Design, and see if you’ve got what it takes to become a UX Designer yourself.
We’ll answer questions like, "What’s the difference between UX and UI?" and "What is it like to actually be a UX Designer?" Then, you’ll get hands-on experience with key UX Design skills like user research and sketching. Bonus: there will be time at the end for live Q&A with the instructor.
We’ll see you in class.
