• What is a UX designer?

  User experience (UX) designers focus on the experience that users have while using products like websites, apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions useful, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include coming up with ideas to address user problems, conducting research with users, and designing wireframes, mockups, and prototypes.

  If you enjoy talking to and empathizing with people, drawing, thinking creatively, or paying attention to details, a job as a UX designer might be a good fit for you!

• What background is required?

  This course is the seventh and final course of the Google UX Design Certificate, which will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. We strongly recommend that you complete the first six courses of the certificate program before completing this one:

  - Course 1: Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design

  - Course 2: Start the UX Design Process: Empathize, Define, and Ideate

  - Course 3: Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes

  - Course 4: Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts

  - Course 5: Build High-Fidelity Designs and Prototypes in Figma

  - Course 6: Responsive Web Design in Adobe XD

  In this course, you will create a final capstone project to include in your professional UX design portfolio and demonstrate all of your learnings from the certificate program. To succeed in this course, you should have experience: 

  • Conducting user research in order to empathize with user needs and determine specific user pain points. 

  • Creating personas, user stories, user journey maps, and problem statements. 

  • Designing wireframes on paper and digitally, low-fidelity prototypes on paper and digitally, mockups, and high-fidelity prototypes. 

  • Conducting usability studies and iterating on designs based on research insights.  

  • Working in Figma or Adobe XD.

  If you are unfamiliar with any of these topics, you should enroll in the earlier courses of the Google UX Design Certificate to learn more.

• What tools or platforms are included in the curriculum?

  Figma and Adobe XD are the design tools taught in the Google UX Design Certificate. In this course, you can choose which of these two design tools you’ll use to create your capstone design project. 

  Spreadsheets, word processing applications, and presentation applications will also be used. Throughout the program, you will create a professional portfolio, using the platform of your choice, to showcase your UX design work.

• Which jobs will this certificate help me prepare for?

  One of the most exciting parts about joining the field of user experience is the large number of job opportunities available. Nearly every company needs UX designers to help create their digital and physical products. While the need for UX designers continues to grow, there is currently a shortage of UX design professionals to fill those roles. 

  A career in UX design allows you the opportunity to work as a generalist, finding a role as a UX designer, UI designer, or UX researcher, or as a specialist, like a visual designer or interaction designer. Upon completion of this certificate program, you will be able to search for jobs with all of these titles, and find the role that best suits you.

• Do I need to take the course in a certain order?

  This is the seventh and final course in the Google UX Design Certificate. We highly recommend completing the seven courses in this certificate program in the order presented, because the content and applications in each course build on information presented and practiced in earlier courses.

  This course is similar to a capstone project. The goal is to demonstrate and apply learnings from the certificate program, so guidance will be limited.
