User interface (UI) design is the process of creating the outward-facing appearance of a website or application, while the process of gathering research and using data to inform design decisions is referred to as user experience (UX) design. In this course, you learn both. Starting with the fundamentals, you will quickly advance through topics of increasing complexity, applying creative problem-solving skills to design and iterating on your designs based on research. You will learn how to defend your designs with data using performance metrics you create. Lastly, you will leave this course knowing how to clearly implement every step of the design process, from concept to full-scale design prototypes.
