This course is for you if you are starting in UX/UI/Product design and you struggle to make things look good. You want to learn to create better UI but not sure how.
Yes! You don't have to become a designer to learn design foundations or learn to express your ideas visually. This is a universal skill.
Yes! If you send me the assignments, I'll give you personalized feedback. You can also ask any questions on the lessons' material.
Absolutely. You don't need to draw as a UI/visual designer.
The course is self-paced, but I recommend about 6 hours a week for the videos and assignments.
It is absolutely for you. it will give you the perfect foundation to translate your ideas into a better UI.
No, there's no certificate. It's more important to get the skills you can apply than a piece of paper (even if it's official).

Course feedback
“I really enjoyed super packed information in a short amount of time and I learned something new with the example of poster design and see it organically evolving with every example you showed. I think I am going to practice it a bit to get my hands on it. Also, I noticed everything you were talking about was also implemented in your presentation in the video. The video itself has a good visual design too.”
“Great overview of principals and rules. Enough information to understand but the teacher also encourages you to go out and learn these in-depth as well as practice!”
“This course is very well done, the lessons are prepared and organized with care and the explanations are clear. It is a very nice walk through all elements of good design, I would highly recommend it for beginners and as a refresher of key concepts. Thank you Julia for the course!!! :)”
