Course overview:

User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Design play key roles in the experience users have when interacting with digital products and applications. In this aspire journey, we’ll cover the theory and methodologies behind UI and UX design. You’ll also design your own wireframes and interactive prototypes.
