Bikash didn't just mentor me in building products, he helped shape how I think. He encouraged me to look beyond execution, understand the real problem, and stay grounded in the user's perspective. That shift continues to influence how I approach decisions and solve problems.

FAQs

Good to know

UX (User Experience) Design is the process of creating products, services, and experiences that are useful, usable, and enjoyable for users. It focuses on understanding user needs and solving real-world problems through thoughtful design.

An AI-Driven UX Designer combines traditional UX skills with AI-powered tools to conduct research, generate ideas, create prototypes, and improve design workflows. AI helps designers work faster, but human creativity, empathy, and problem-solving remain essential.

Anyone can become a UX Designer regardless of their educational background. Students, working professionals, marketers, engineers, business professionals, and career switchers can all transition into UX Design.

Yes. This program is designed for complete beginners and does not require prior experience in design, technology, or coding.

No. Most employers hire UX Designers based on their skills, portfolio, problem-solving ability, and practical experience rather than a formal design degree.

No. Coding is not required to become a UX Designer. However, understanding basic web and mobile technologies can help you collaborate more effectively with developers.

You will learn User Research, Information Architecture, Interaction Design, UI Design, Prototyping, UX Writing, Accessibility, Usability Testing, Design Systems, and AI-powered UX workflows.

You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools such as Figma, FigJam, Miro, AI-powered design tools, and other collaboration platforms commonly used by UX professionals.

The program covers the complete UX design process—from understanding users and defining problems to creating prototypes, designing interfaces, testing solutions, and building a professional portfolio.

Classes are held every Saturday and Sunday, with each session lasting approximately 3–4 hours.

Yes. The weekend schedule is specifically designed to accommodate students, freelancers, and working professionals.

We intentionally limit enrollment to 30 learners to ensure personalized mentorship, meaningful feedback, active participation, and a high-quality learning experience.

No. AI can automate repetitive tasks, but it cannot replace human empathy, critical thinking, strategic decision-making, and creativity. The future belongs to UX Designers who know how to effectively use AI.

Yes. As businesses continue to invest in digital products and AI-powered experiences, demand for skilled UX Designers remains strong across industries such as technology, fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and SaaS.
