About the Course

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Define the field of UX and explain why it’s important for consumers and businesses. - Understand foundational concepts in UX design, such as user-centered design, the design thinking framework, accessibility, and equity-focused design. - Identify the factors that contribute to great user experience design. - Review common job responsibilities of entry-level UX designers and teams that they work with. - Explore job opportunities and career paths within the field of user experience. - Explain why design sprints are an important and useful part of a UX designer’s work. - Describe common UX research methods. - Identify and account for biases in UX research....

The course was very informative and gave a general understanding of what a UX designer does. Although it felt weird to create a portfolio when you have nothing to put in there yet. Looking forward to other courses.

This course flies by! It feels easy while you're doing it, and you don't even realize you're learning, but then at the end of the course you realize just how much you've learned. It's also packed full of resources.

Very well structured, easy to follow and interesting. Highly recommend. A small note: I would recommend giving yourself a little more time for the fourth and final week as the workload increases quite dramatically.

Broke down the foundations of UX perfectly. Coming from almost no experience in this field, all the information was super digestable and understandable. Loved the mix of videos, articles, and interactive chapters.
