UX/UI Design
Learn how to use user research to create impactful designs on various software platforms.
What You Will Learn
In Deep Dive’s UX/UI Design class, you will learn the fundamentals of traditional design, user experience design, user interface design, and user research.
User Experience Design (UX) is about the interaction between the user, the product or service, and the design elements that shape that experience. User Interface Design (UI) is the point of interaction between the user and 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.
Our experienced instructors provide opportunities for you to fuse UX, UI, and user research together and create high-impact designs for websites, mobile apps, and more.
