What you'll learn

Fundamentals
of UX & UI

UX stands for user experience, and UI stands for user interface. UI is a subset of UX. Sound confusing? Don’t worry — we’ll teach you how to solve problems and speak like a designer.

You’ll get the experience and knowledge to stand out on web design projects.

Hands-on
design work

You’ll take on projects in an environment mimicking a start-up, and your work will be aimed at solving real-world problems. These projects will help build your portfolio, which will be instrumental to your job and career growth.

You’ll bring your ideas to life by learning design processes, forming a research plan, and building wireframes and prototypes.

How to be a
team player

Throughout the program, you’ll work in teams to achieve your goals. Kenzie provides a classroom environment that closely resembles a real-world, collaborative experience. Employers like to see how you perform on a team, so you’ll graduate with plenty of practice doing so.

It’s a big part of what sets Kenzie Academy apart from other UX Design schools and bootcamps. Our students graduate with both technical and soft skills, which means they enter the industry as well-rounded, marketable job candidates.
