    UI Design Course

    I had a positive experience with BrainStation's UI course. The program taught me essential skills in UI design and development, covering topics such as typography, color theory, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. I had two great instructors and who were highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in the field, providing students with valuable insights and mentorship. Great class!

    Great introduction to UX Design!

    I recently completed the UX Design course at BrainStation and had a great experience. The instructors, Veronica and Samantha, were very knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions + lend a helping hand. The eight weeks flew by quickly and I appreciated the interactive elements of the class and how they each focused on a different step in the UX design process.

    By the end of the eight weeks, I had brainstormed an idea, done research via interviews, wireframed, and built out ...
