how to get started on ux design.

TAKE A COURSE

Take a course to know the principles. Don’t learn UX Design in a scattered way like watching random tutorials on Youtube. Having an instructor can help you learn all about it in a step-by-step process.

• Udemy

• UX Design Short Course

MASTER A DESIGN TOOL

You can choose between Adobe XD and Figma. I switch between these two depending on the project I’m working on. I’ve also included a tutorial for each tool for a guide.

PRACTICE

Do the class projects that your course has. Or you can do some

UX Design Challenges

You can also redisign apps that you already have that needs improvements.

Practice!
