Prototyping isn't about making things look pretty. It's about making decisions visible, testing assumptions early, and avoiding expensive mistakes later. This program teaches you how to create functional prototypes that answer real questions.
UX Prototyping Fundamentals
View Program DetailsWhat you'll build and learn
Wireframe Logic
Structure content hierarchy and user flow without visual design. Focus on information architecture and interaction patterns.
Click-Through Prototypes
Link screens together to simulate navigation. Test user paths and validate flow before writing a single line of code.
Interactive States
Design hover effects, active states, and micro-interactions. Show stakeholders exactly how components should behave.
Component Libraries
Build reusable elements that maintain consistency across screens. Speed up iteration and reduce design debt.
Testing Methods
Run moderated sessions and collect feedback systematically. Identify usability problems early when they're cheap to fix.
Handoff Documentation
Communicate design intent to developers clearly. Specify interactions, measurements, and edge cases that prevent confusion.
Who teaches this program
Four practitioners who prototype daily for clients ranging from startups to enterprise teams. They've made every mistake so you don't have to.
Lachlan Whitford
Interaction Design
Iris Montague
User Research
Neve Caldwell
Information Architecture
Felix Ashford
Visual Systems
Tangible skills, not theory
Real Client Briefs
Work from actual project requirements, not invented scenarios. Build prototypes that solve specific problems.
Tool Agnostic
Principles apply whether you use Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or code. Focus on concepts, not software.
Portfolio Projects
Create six documented case studies showing process and decisions. Evidence you can show employers.
Peer Reviews
Present work to other participants and get constructive feedback. Learn to critique and defend design choices.
Async Format
Access lessons and submit work on your schedule. Live sessions every two weeks for questions and discussion.
Eight Week Duration
Compact program requiring 6-8 hours per week. Intensive enough to build momentum, realistic for working professionals.
