UX Academy
User Experience Bootcamp
A rigourous online curriculum with over 480 hours of coursework that teaches students all of the essentials of UX design through hands-on exercises, 1-on-1 mentorship, and 3 full capstone projects
Capstone 1: SPOT
Finding parking in a busy city like Washington DC is something that I struggle with daily, so I felt particularly drawn towards the idea of "air bnb for parking". I received very valuable feedback when conducting user testing that helped me broaden my perspective and improve my designs.
Capstone 2: Venmo
Capstone #2 was about enhancing an existing product of our choice. Working to create new features for Venmo was especially rewarding because it's an app that I use quite often. I fall under Venmo's target audience, so a lot of my personal experiences helped when coming up with the new additions. I received such great feedback when conducting user testing that helped me improve my designs.
Capstone 3: Furever Friends
A responsive pet adoption website that partners with animal shelters all across the country to help pets get adopted.
