Product Design: Introduction to UX Research
This class covers fundamental terminology and theory that sets you up to think like a UX designer or researcher. Research is a technical subject - there is a lot to understand in order to do high quality research that impacts products. Be prepared to learn lots of new terms and think critically about how to best learn what you need to learn from your customers. Even though we cover the fundamentals, I can't promise the class is easy! I'm always here for help a clarification on the way.

Building a Killer UX Portfolio: Stand Out From The Crowd
In this class we’ll work together to craft a killer UX portfolio - either starting from scratch or touching up a current portfolio. We’ll treat building your portfolio like an end-to-end design project, from discovery to design. If you are looking for a templatized solution to your portfolio, or a one-size-fits-all solution, this is not the class for you. This class is a step-by-step guide to creating the portfolio that works for you - it's a community for feedback, helpful tips, and some motivation to finally get your portfolio where you want it to be.
