UX & Digital Product Design
Distinguish product UX, interface design, and graphic communication
UX & Digital Product Design teaches research, information architecture, task flows, service journeys, wireframes, prototypes, usability testing, accessibility, resilient interaction design, content design, and design-system collaboration with engineering.
The course focuses on how digital products behave across happy paths, errors, recovery, devices, connectivity, privacy, and assistive technology. It is distinct from Graphic Design: learners design interaction and product experiences, not brand campaign artwork or promotional visual production.
