UI/UX & Product Design
Learn the complete design process from user research to final implementation. Master design tools, prototyping, and user testing to create products that users love.
Students will learn how to research user problems, design usable interfaces, and collaborate with engineers to ship real digital products. By the end of the program, students will have designed and shipped real features of a live studio product, built a hiring-grade portfolio, and learned how professional product designers work in real companies. Graduates won't just "know Figma" — they'll know how to think, validate, communicate, and design for production.
