Curious about user experience design? This one-day, hands-on workshop introduces the fundamentals of UX design and shows you how to turn fuzzy ideas into clear, user-friendly solutions. You’ll explore how professionals uncover user needs, map journeys, sketch wireframes, prototype ideas and test designs for usability and accessibility.
Working on a realistic design brief, you’ll collaborate in small groups and practise the same tools and methods used by UX teams in start-ups, agencies and government. Through guided activities and practical exercises, you’ll build confidence in design thinking and gain insight into the full UX process—from research to testing.
By the end of the day, you’ll have created a mini portfolio piece that demonstrates your UX process, along with practical skills you can apply immediately in the workplace or use to take the next step in your UX career.
