Week 1: Kickoff PRD's & roadmap, meet your big tech UX manager & client!

Grouped into S, A, and N classes based on your experience levels. Each team is led by a big tech UXGO coach as the team manager and a dedicated career advisor with hiring experience.

60-minute "All Hands" lecture
60-minute coach-led sync

60 minutes of self-led team collaboration
Bi-weekly workshops

Week 2: Understand & Dive Deep

Guided by UXR frameworks from top tech companies like Google and Meta. Learn to dissect Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) with your coach and team.

Focus on industry-level qualitative and quantitative studies.

Integrate usability study data into your designs. Collaborate hands-on with developers, receiving feedback and facing real-world constraints. Learn from both front-end and back-end perspectives under the guidance of your coach. Split your design scope into Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and Northstar functions for seamless delivery.

Prioritize features and decide on your MVP, a skill often tested in Amazon and Google internship interviews.

Week 8: Design system, Spec's, & Implementation

Master design systems, a key skill in almost every UX job description nowadays. Learn from real Figma design system experts on how to implement, audit, and create scalable atomic components. Get hands-on experience with UI kits. For beginners, learn Figma basics like the 8-point grid, bootstrap designs, and auto layouts for professional files.
