UX & Visual Design Instructor — 8-Week Course

UX & Visual Design Instructor

An 8-week UX & Visual Design Fundamentals Course teaching how to Build a Digital Product

Role: Course Producer & Instructor

Fede, me, and Vero - the instructors.

In Buenos Aires, I partnered up with one of the largest co-working spaces in the city, La Maquinita, to teach a course on UX & Visual Design. I was also responsible for producing the 8-week-long course where me and two teaching assistants, Federico Jose Diaz Sparta & Veronica Litmanovich, together taught the fundamentals of designing and building a digital product to 10 students. This course was exclusive to La Maquinita members.

The curriculum was designed for professionals who were either working in different parts of the digital product life cycle such as product management, marketing, and software development, or our students were professional designers who were working on non-digital products. Our goal was to help students learn the tools and fundamentals of designing and building a digital product and provide them hands-on experience delivering the final compositions needed before production.

We’ve also partnered up with Sketch team to provide all students a 50% discount on Sketch app licenses. Some students were using the app for the first time, so this really made them smile. 😎

1. Hands-On Learning Is Key

Providing students with practical tasks like designing logos and digital products helps solidify theoretical knowledge and produces tangible results.

2. Cross-Disciplinary Approach

Involving professionals from various backgrounds, such as marketing and development, enriches the learning environment and fosters collaboration.

3. Partnerships Enhance Accessibility

Collaborating with tools like Sketch to offer discounts improved student engagement and made professional tools more accessible.

3 Lessons Learned

The final output of the students were impressive. Some created their own brands for their projects, others applied their learnings to their existing clients. Below, you can see a mixture of the produced material by students who attended the course.
