The M.AD Difference
From insights to concepts to testing to prototyping, a UX Designer is a jack-of-all-trades—and master of man. Fueled by a desire to solve customer needs with innovative digital experiences, the UX designer pioneers the cutting edge of human-computer interaction.
As a UX designer, your decisions affect every move a user makes. The people who excel at it are born problem solvers with exceptional attention to detail. They strive to create the best experience for the task at hand…with the end user always in mind.
Needless to say, it’s a high-stakes affair. And the UX designers that find success are talented, driven individuals, with a wealth of experience in the field. That’s why at MAD, we espouse a philosophy of total immersion. For 12 weeks, you’ll dive deep into the world of a professional designer. A series of lectures and working sessions will expose you to a world of theoretical knowledge, as well as practical UX design approaches and skills by the top experts in the industry. Toolbox sessions will teach tangible and transferable skills including; cognitive psychology, problem solving and effectively working with your team. And all along, you’ll be guided by expert professional mentors who teach you every step of the way.
