UX applies to anything that can be experienced, such as a website, a vehicle, a commercial, etc. It’s about the interaction between the user and the product or service, and the design elements that shape that experience. UI is the point of interaction between the user and a digital device or product that gives it a unique look and feel. Researching how individuals interact with products and services is a valuable skill, particularly when it comes to web and software development. As of January 2020, there were over 1.94 billion websites in existence. There are currently over 4 million mobile apps available for download on Android and iOS combined. Globally, more than 4 billion people are using the internet. Someone needs to design that experience, and that someone could be you!

“Everyone at Deep Dive was always so supportive and understanding. Melody as an instructor made the program successful. She was able to transform me, from no knowledge into someone who created an app and confident enough in my UX/UI design knowledge and skill to make a career change. Thank you all so much!”
“During my time in the UX/UI Bootcamp we covered a wide range of topics including (but not limited to) design elements, color theory, information architecture, research methods for User Experience, systems thinking, and how to pitch my ideas to employers. Because of the vast scope of the field, we dealt with many aspects of design which has led to me having several new skills to add to my resume. Working with my colleagues in the cohort, and learning from Melody about various strategies helped me gain real world experience working with team members on projects. The support from the Deep Dive community has been tremendous, and helped me in my pursuit of working in tech. ”
