Course Overview
The UI/UX Design Course at RisingEdge teaches how useful digital products are researched, structured, designed, tested, and improved. Students learn to understand user needs, organise information, create clear task flows, build wireframes, design responsive interfaces in Figma, and test prototypes before preparing a professional handoff. The course focuses on design decisions that solve real user problems, not visual decoration alone.
- Follow a complete user-centred design process from research to tested prototype
- Create wireframes, task flows, responsive screens, components, and design systems in Figma
- Use usability feedback and accessibility principles to improve interface decisions
- Build portfolio case studies that explain the problem, process, evidence, and final solution

How You Will Learn
User-Centred Process
Move from user needs and task flows to wireframes and clear interface decisions.
Interactive Prototypes
Create responsive screens, reusable components, and testable product prototypes in Figma.
Case Study Portfolio
Document research, decisions, testing, revisions, and final screens in a professional case study.
Projects You Will Build
Website User Flow
Research and structure a service website journey with clear navigation, content hierarchy, and wireframes.
Mobile App Prototype
Design responsive application screens and connect them into a testable interactive prototype.
Design System
Create reusable typography, colour, spacing, components, states, and usage guidance in Figma.
Portfolio Case Study
Present the problem, research, process, testing evidence, revisions, and final product clearly.
