Course description

Without a data-informed mindset, Product (UX/UI) Designers will struggle in the industry.

As the industry progresses, particularly with the advancement of AI, it is crucial for designers to expand their skills to enhance their competitiveness. With UI design nearing automation through AI technologies, acquiring strategic and research skills is becoming increasingly vital.

This course teaches how to choose the right research methods, understand user desires deeply, and create designs that go beyond aesthetics to meet strategic business needs.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
  • Implement strategic problem-solving: Solve user problems with the help of the Double Diamond design model.
  • Sharpen your business mindset: Shift your perspective and see bigger-picture goals with strategic thinking challenges.
  • Dive deep into intensive user research: Learn how to plan and execute a user research strategy that will uncover crucial user insights.
  • Implement smarter and more efficient workflows: Get the most out of your insights by organizing your notes and developing ideas quickly.
  • Build high-level communication skills: Use what you learn from user interviews and research methods to better communicate and collaborate with stakeholders.
  • Establish solid data reporting: Incorporate frameworks, customer journey maps, and more into your reports to provide a strong basis for your findings.

I'd like how the instructor took time to show practical examples but this seem to be a little too much at certain periods. A brief summary would have been helpful when going through user feedbacks. I believe the course will give any UI designer who is trying to increase their knowledge in UX.

Figma Masterclass
I really enjoyed learning from real-world case scenarios and from an experienced designer. It's the kind of stuff you don't get taught on bootcamp. I've learned small details that take years of experience in design to learn. It was almost like learning from an expert in the industry. (Plus, it was very fun to follow!) There was not a single specific moment. Throughout the whole course, I noticed how I was learning and becoming a lot more confident using Figma and already thinking of how I could apply this knowledge to my own personal design projects or future client work. I feel a lot more confident going into my first full-time junior design position, and maybe even try to freelance on the side.

The Ultimate Figma Masterclass
Mizko's Ultimate Figma Masterclass is a credit to the Designership suite of courses. It is well worth time spent doing the practical exercises. There is evidence of forethought and planning as the course unfolds. Completing the course leaves the student with Figma know-how and a library of reusable components that will expand any designer's repertoire for future efforts.
