Synthesize these findings to uncover genuine user needs, define problems, and create "personas" that map out user journeys. This foundational work enables the generation of diverse ideas, prioritizing the most promising ones to establish a clear information architecture.
Transform your concepts into reality by crafting functional wireframes and interactive high-fidelity prototypes. Conduct usability tests with real users to observe interactions, gather metrics, and collect valuable feedback. Analyze these results to refine your solution and prepare a professional presentation of your findings for stakeholders. By completing this comprehensive UX cycle, you'll not only gain hands-on experience but also create a validated prototype supported by real data and user insights.

I haven't finished this course yet but the value I've gotten from the few videos I've watched it's been amazing. Before now I couldn't properly grasp the idea of UX Design and it's been a very hard thing to understand. I love how Ethan took his time to explain every details. This is a great course to take!
Since then, Ethan has worked in both agency and consultancy settings, for international clients such as Meliá Hotels International, SEAT, and Dunia. He leads workshops for businesses such as KPMG, Accenture, El Corte Inglés, and Hola Magazine, and is part of the European Adobe XD team (Adobe XDI).
Over the past few years, he has been part of the Interaction Design Association’s Interaction Awards committee, which recognizes and celebrates examples of excellence in Interaction Design across domains, channels, environments and cultures, and teaches UX design and Agile methodology topics at several design universities and boot camps in Barcelona.
