Our bootcamp focuses on the application of design fundamentals, human-centred design processes, and cutting-edge AI tools. This course will help you complete the UX process from research to high-fidelity prototypes while developing the facilitation skills needed to collaborate effectively with product managers, developers, and marketing teams.
