All students are required to complete pre-work before the start of Phase 1 to have a working knowledge of UX and UI processes. During Prep, students prepare for success by familiarizing themselves with the the tools and processes they will utilize during the Product Design course including Figma and Webflow.
UX Process
In Phase 1, students will learn about using generative AI as a research analysis tool. Discover how to develop personas and user journeys, conduct market research on competitors, use natural language processing (NLP) to automate the identification and categorization of patterns, and draft surveys for gathering user data. By the end of this phase, students will be able to identify potential opportunities and threats in a product design environment as well as evaluate the long-term effects of AI on design.
UI Process
In Phase 2, students will learn the essential components of the UI (User Interface) design process, including standard tools, best practices, and deliverables. Learn the fundamentals of interface design as well as how to co-create with AI for inspiration. Explore more about prompt engineering, which can generate design elements such as typography, color palettes, and design patterns based on project requirements. By the end of this phase, students will have hands-on experience and be equipped to harness the full power of AI to fuel the creative process.
Studio 1
In Phase 3, students will learn how to use generative AI to develop content for design projects. Explore how AI can be used to create ideas for content outlines, headings, descriptive copy, microcopy, error messages, FAQ’s, keyword research and SEO. By the end of this phase, students will be able to use AI as a powerful tool to create compelling and effective designs, enabling better communication with users as well as improved user experiences.
Studio 2
In Phase 4, students will learn how to use generative AI to prompt for whiteboard challenges, which will help develop design thinking skills. You will receive evaluations of completed design challenges, which will help you to refine your approach and develop your design skills further. Also, you will have a chance to how to use generative AI to craft compelling narratives to convey the purpose of your work to clients or stakeholders. By the end of this phase, students should develop the ability to think creatively and communicate design ideas effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the On-campus and online Live and Flex experience?
On-campus programs are held full-time and you are expected to be on campus for each day of class. The Flex and Live program uses the same curriculum, but gives you the added flexibility of studying from home.
What is Product Design?
Product Design is a holistic concept that has ownership over both UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) design. UX design focuses on the total user experience with a digital product. UI design focuses on the visual experience of a digital product, such as fonts, colors, and animations.
Is UX / UI Product Design a good career? What jobs can I get with UX / UI Product Design?
Yes! Product Design is a career with many opportunities and that is relatively future-proof given how many different disciplines it covers – research, analysis, design, experimentation, and more.
