Associate Consultant Experience Designer Thoughtworks
Thanks to NYCDA I landed a job as a UX designer exactly one week after I finished the course. The UX/UI coursework and class presentations prepared me to confidently present my design at the interview, and I was hired.
Freelance UX Designer
I loved the NYCDA UI/UX course because it was project based. I grew so much from when I first started the class because of amazing feedback I received from both my teacher and classmates. When it came to presenting our final projects, we connected with and received feedback from other UX designers already working in the field. This was an amazing experience as it helped me receive my first freelance job as a UX designer.
Start setting your design mindset with a Design challenge and learning by doing. Students will create paper prototypes in groups, and run through their first usability test.
Build your understanding of “user centered” design and why it’s important. You’ll get an understanding of different UX research methods and how to conduct them.
Learn how to identify business goals and prioritize features for different personas. End the week with an intro to Information Architecture and different development processes.
Get started with interaction and user interface design. Learn the importance of user flows. Turn it all into mock ups and wireframes.
Start with pen and paper to sketch out preliminary wireframes, then turn them digital with the Sketch app for Mac.
Dive into responsive design and optimizing for different screen sizes. Create prototypes in InVision and conduct usability tests with your mockups.
Learn the fundamentals of color, line, balance, and type to create visually appealing products. Go over current industry trends in UI design and brand identity.
Cover the basics of Universal Design, and wrap up the final touches on your final project.
Our project-based curriculum gives students real-world experience working with the tools needed to succeed in technology. Here are some of the tools they've built along the way.
Well-rounded developers are vital to an integrated tech community. Even the most beautifully coded web application will fail if it's not intuitive and fun to use. UI/UX design is the piece of the puzzle that ensures an application can find its audience.
Not in this course. If you want to learn web development, check out Web Development 100 or our Web Development Intensive.
Students will work primarily with Sketch.
Not at all! This course has no prerequisites. However, many students take this course as part of Web Development 100, or find that UI/UX sparks an interest in Front End 101.
Absolutely! Working through the User Experience design process while building a full project for your portfolio will give you a solid foundation for becoming a UX Designer!
UI/UX stands for User Interface/User Experience. User experience is all the interactions and emotions a user experiences when interacting with your product, application, or website.
A UX Designer is a professional who created the ideal experience for a user of a product. They make website and applications easy and intuitive to use.
