UI/UX Design with Figma & Adobe XD
Great products are not just built — they are designed. Learn UI/UX design from the ground up using Figma and Adobe XD, and build the skills to create beautiful, user-centered digital experiences that tech companies actively hire for.
About This Course
In a world where users have unlimited choices, the design of a product determines whether people use it or abandon it. UI/UX designers are the professionals who bridge the gap between technology and human experience — and their role has become central to every product team in tech.
This 4-week course is designed for CS and IT students who want to add design thinking and practical design skills to their technical background. You will work with Figma — the industry's leading design tool — and Adobe XD, learning everything from foundational design principles to building interactive prototypes that behave like real applications.
You will study color theory, typography, layout, and visual hierarchy. You will learn how to conduct basic user research, create user flows and wireframes, and build high-fidelity prototypes that you can present to clients or include in your portfolio. You will also understand design systems — the reusable component libraries that make design work efficient and consistent at scale.
UI/UX design is a creative-technical career that pairs exceptionally well with development skills. Whether you want to work as a dedicated designer, a developer with design skills, or a product manager, this course gives you a strong and immediately applicable foundation.
