Product Design

A 12-week project-based course taking you from idea to interactive prototype, with Figma as the core tool. Learn design thinking and UX research, master Figma craft — auto layout, components, variants, and variables — then design one real product end-to-end: flows, wireframes, a two-theme design system, polished high-fidelity screens, a clickable prototype, usability testing, and developer handoff. You graduate with a complete case study and a reusable Figma toolkit, not scattered exercises. Expect 10–15 hours per week of lessons, labs, and a weekly design deliverable.
