UX DESIGN BOOTCAMP

Now more than ever, organizations are recognizing the value of user-centered design, applying its principles everywhere from web experiences and physical products to service delivery. According to InVision, 92% of the mature design organizations can draw a straight line from the efforts of their UX design team to their company’s revenue.

We see this reflected on job boards: 70% of design teams increased their headcount in the past year, and employers ranked UX/UI as the most in-demand product design title. Hiring managers also place a high value on candidates who complement design and research knowledge with past experience in product management, marketing, engineering, and business strategy. Regardless of your professional background, there's ample opportunity to carve a fulfilling — and lucrative — UX design career path.
