Designlab teaches in-demand UX/UI design skills online through 4-week short courses and a 15 to 28-week UX Academy. Designlab courses consist primarily of hands-on projects and 1-on-1 mentorship from expert designers so that students can master the techniques needed to design stunning web and mobile products. The Designlab community of mentors gives students timely feedback on work and Skype with students regularly to help them improve. Mentors include top industry professionals from companies like Twitter, Airbnb, Dropbox, and more. Courses are self-paced, which means students can complete the readings/projects whenever their schedules permit. Designlab is ideal for a developer, product manager, entrepreneur, marketer, aspiring designer, or anyone working on web/mobile products.
To apply for the UX Academy, applicants need to fill out an online application, and schedule a call with a Designlab representative. Applicants should have a love of good design, a grounding in design fundamentals, and commitment and resilience.
Graduates of the UX Academy work with a career coach to get help with their portfolios, job applications, and interview technique. Designlab offers a 6-month tuition-reimbursement guarantee for graduates of the UX Academy who are job hunting.

This has been a great learning experience. The content is great and easy to learn and remember and my mentor is very nice and very knowledgeable in her field.
Remember - this is not like any other online learning site, you have to pracise and you have to really commit to your learning. Your mentors are very detailed and can point out where you need to improve so this is great.
All the very best and happy learning!
I was in the second cohort of the new UX Academy from Designlab.
I had a wonderful experience and learned a lot! The curriculum was good, the mentors were great, and the community of other students was so helpful!
I got a job as a Product Designer just 3 months after I finished the course.
Highly recommended!
Coming into the second online class I have taken I had some expectations. Design Lab over achieved to say the least. The class structure starts off with the basics then moves deeper into the nuances and nuts and bolts of interaction design. A mentor who is an industry professional is provided to you at the beginging of the course to guide you along the way.

Coming into the second online class I have taken I had some expectations. Design Lab over achieved to say the least. The class structure starts off with the basics then moves deeper into the nuances and nuts and bolts of interaction design. A mentor who is an industry professional is provided to you at the beginging of the course to guide you along the way. It was great to have live feedback during skype sessions and also have the albility to view other classmates work through project submissions. You get to see how other designers think and thier design process. Coming out of the class I've developed a new skill set and a new way to think about design that unbeknowst to me 4 weeks ago was foreign. I am more than pleased with the outcome.
I previously had zero design experience. My goal was to become familiar with the tools and concepts used by designers so that I would have a primitive foundation for creating attractive designs for my projects. What I found was that this course was much more than I bargained for. This course, as it turns out, covers almost nothing about using the tools themselves (although, they do provide tutorial resources for you to review independently).

I previously had zero design experience. My goal was to become familiar with the tools and concepts used by designers so that I would have a primitive foundation for creating attractive designs for my projects. What I found was that this course was much more than I bargained for. This course, as it turns out, covers almost nothing about using the tools themselves (although, they do provide tutorial resources for you to review independently). Designlab wanted to provide an experience and knowledge-base that couldn't be attained by merely scouring Youtube for a few hours. Their goal in this course is to walk you through true design theory and convey the principles that compose good design. Don't be discouraged if you don't have any technical experience because they structure the projects in a gradual way that's attainable for a design beginner. What ties the Designlab experience together, though, is the mentor system. Being paired with a design professional that has proven track record gives you the confidence to head in the right direction with your design ideas. In the true nature of Designlab philosophy, my mentor, Joe Callahan (VP of Design at Classy), wanted to ensure that I was grasping the higher-level concepts that would help me become a successful designer in the future. He was encouraging of my technical inability, emphasizing that those skills would develop with time, but understanding the principles that make good design would set me apart. Designlab was well worth all time and resources invested. Will be pursuing more of their courses in the near future.
I am halfway throught the Design101 DesignLab course and I love it. The framework is practical, the support is fantastic, and I love the way which I can check out what other students are doing along the way. I am doing this course as a ramp up to a uni degree I am beginning in November. I feel like this has given me a great head start.
I had issues with billing on my end, and the guys at DesignLab were fantastic and understanding. I would highly recommend Designla...

I had issues with billing on my end, and the guys at DesignLab were fantastic and understanding. I would highly recommend Designlab to anyone looking to get a crash course or a touch up on their existing skills.
I took DesignLab just to get more learning experience in designing and this course did just that! They give you so many resources and different articles to read from real life designers and you get a peak into their world. I loved that this course was totally self-paced and it was great that your mentor works with your schedule.

I remember when I just stumbled upon Design Lab, not thinking it would be that good, or similar to other online classes. But for some reason I had a feeling I should look into this. After doing some research I decided to try out the Design 101 class of which I am so glad I did! I would highly recommend it!! The platform is easy to understand, the readings are great, and the mentors are wonderful! I have learned a lot and I am thinking about taking more classes from them in the future.
I would like to begin by saying that the cost of this course is phenomenal vis a vis to what I've learned and covered in just four weeks. Designlab takes you by the hand from the early definition of UX strategy and research, how to do proper UX research, methodologies, concepts, all up to the landing page of your potential project. I couldn't thank the team that put this together enough. The course was really well thought out, very organized, and systematic with never a dull moment! My men...
I would like to begin by saying that the cost of this course is phenomenal vis a vis to what I've learned and covered in just four weeks. Designlab takes you by the hand from the early definition of UX strategy and research, how to do proper UX research, methodologies, concepts, all up to the landing page of your potential project. I couldn't thank the team that put this together enough. The course was really well thought out, very organized, and systematic with never a dull moment! My mentor was excellent. Karin Schmidlin taught me in such a short span of time how to ask the proper questions and seek the proper research method. She also helped me in creating my UX portfolio, which I am very grateful for that. If I were to suggest something, it would be that Designlab students get the opportunity to collaborate on projects and maybe work together on assignments, surveys, or general questions and opinions. I really have no negative comments for this course, I should say that maybe I was a bit skeptical at first given the great price vs other courses out there. But Designlab, you outdid yourself! Now I am ready to soar in the UX industry in NYC. Thank you, DL :-)
As an experienced researcher interested in UX research, I wanted to immerse myself in UX vernacular and practices. The DesignLab curriculum delivered both in an easy to digest format and the weekly mentor sessions were great for questions along the way.
For the price I paid, I say I'm very satisfied with the course. Designlab was able to open a door to interaction design that I perviously knew nothing of and can now take into my job as a Web Designer.
The design mentorship and hands on curriculum at Designlab are fantastic. I've never found such a perfectly customized way to work with powerhouse designers from a variety of industries than at Designlab. The design connections, terminology, and knowledge gained from the curriculum itself are huge steps forward in my own design career.
Great experience with design lab.
Awesome materials, and a fantastic mentor.
