UI / UX Design

Full outline

Research, information architecture, interaction and visual design, design systems, prototyping and usability testing — the full loop from user problem to shipped interface.

1. 01Understand The User

   Design without research is decoration.

   • Research methods

     Finding out what people actually need, rather than what you assume.

   • Synthesis

     Turning raw research into something a team can design against.

   • Information architecture

     Structure and naming decide whether people can find anything.

2. 02Design Craft

   The visual and interaction layer.

   • Visual fundamentals

     The principles that make a screen feel designed rather than assembled.

   • Interaction design

     What happens between the taps.

   • Figma

     The industry-standard tool. Efficiency here is a real career multiplier.

   • Design systems

     Consistency at scale, and a shared vocabulary with engineers.

3. 03Validate & Ship

   Opinions are cheap; evidence is not.

   • Usability testing

     Five users will reveal most of your problems. Watch them struggle without helping.

   • Accessibility

     Designing for everyone, including keyboard and screen-reader users.

   • Portfolio & collaboration

     Hiring is decided by three case studies showing how you think.
