    All interfaces are not created equal.

    In today's technologically-driven market, it's relatively easy to commission custom software. But is the user interface aesthetically appealing? Is it accessible and easy to use? Is the layout intelligent and is it efficient? These are the types of questions UX & UI design aims to address. It doesn't just look at interface functionality, but at human psychology. It aims to understand how we respond to different interface designs, with the goal of creating ever more intuitive and pleasing user experiences.

    Improving non-profit usability

    Example project you may work on

    Your client is a non-profit organisation that provides support to victims of gender-based violence, as well as access to social justice. They’ve had extremely limited funding to date and operate simply off an old Wordpress site. They’ve noticed that visitors to their site access different pages, but seldom go on to seek access to social justice services or local welfare services. Working in teams, your task is to build a wireframe and prototype of a new site that will increase usage and access for all of the services provided by the non-profit.

    Expert teachers who care about you as an individual.

    We limit class sizes and empower teachers to give individualized support and feedback to every student. You’ll gain invaluable perspective, and a mentor who will advise you throughout the program.

    "iXperience was a one-of-a-kind learning immersion. I gained experience and knowledge in ways I never had before. I can now say that I have incredible new skills and have used what I learned to make an impact at a startup company in Cape Town."

    Thoughts
    from our alumni.

    Molly Fox
    Colgate University

    Initially I had thought, as I’d imagine many do, that user experience design is specific to technology, applied when designing a website or an app for instance. However, after my first class I realized it can really be applied to so much more; a brand, a service, or a product. In class we’re learning by actually doing.

    Kwambata Ngatia
    University of Chicago

    iX taught me to understand that UX design does not really require any new skills. Rather it focuses on using existing knowledge and applications to make things anew and/or better than they were before. It is closer to looking at the world through new and varying perspectives. This experience has been exciting, rewarding, and inspiring to see where this new-found perspective can bring me in the future.

    Aishwarya Tare
    University of Maryland

    I have never taken a bootcamp style program like this where I get to focus on skills in just one field all day everyday, so this is a great way way to learn, hone, and practice in just a matter of a few weeks. It is more effective than teaching yourself, and less time than taking a semester long course in college.

    Kate Clawson
    Tufts University

    The class definitely taught me a lot about design and the field, while giving me an idea as to what pursuing a career in design may be like and the skills needed.
