The UI/UX Design Specialization brings a design-centric approach to user interface and user experience design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone. In this course, you will summarize and demonstrate all stages of the UI/UX development process, from user research to defining a project’s strategy, scope, and information architecture, to developing sitemaps and wireframes. You’ll learn current best practices and conventions in UX design and apply them to create effective and compelling screen-based experiences for websites or apps.
User interface and user experience design is a high-demand field, but the skills and knowledge you will learn in this Specialization are applicable to a wide variety of careers, from marketing to web design to human-computer interaction.

UX management
As UX designers gain experience, it’s common for responsibilities to expand and opportunities to be in charge of projects to increase. This can eventually lead to managerial positions like UX manager, UX director, creative director, and, further down the road, executive positions like chief experience officer, or vice president of UX.
Freelancing
The ability to focus solely on tasks that interest you may be something you long for. Perhaps your personal circumstances have changed, and you're seeking for a job with more flexibility. There are several reasons UX designers prefer the freelance route, including the freedom to establish your own hours and choose your own clients.
By providing solutions based on user experience principles, a UX consultant assists an organization in improving its design and business strategy.
Visual designers are creative artists concerned with the aesthetics of the screen. They’re not responsible for how the user interacts with the interface. Their focus is on typography, color, graphics, visual effects, and layout.
The interaction designer is specifically concerned with the interaction between the user and the screen. This includes the transitions between pages, how the menu slides in or out of the screen, and how user interaction changes the appearance of buttons. This job role is usually found in companies with large projects, where different team members specialize on individual design aspects.
Animation can play a major part in creating a lasting user experience. While visual designers are responsible for static elements, motion designers are concerned with the dynamic experience. A motion designer creates animated effects when a user interacts with the screen.
A UX researcher aims to fully understand the user’s wants and needs. They conduct thorough research to gain useful insights into the customer’s mindset. Conclusions are presented to the design team to help make informed decisions on how the product should look and feel. Most large organizations have dedicated UX researchers, while this role is merged with UX designers in smaller firms.
Requirements to enter the course: Basics of digital design tools and concepts will be helpful but not required. Strong motivation, interest in technology, empathy for people, and passion for design will be required.
