"Worth It"
I really enjoyed my experience with Design Lab's UX Foundations Course. I LOVED my mentor. I think I had an advantage of having a graphic design background when it came to a lot of the basics of UI but it was a great experience in learning Figma since... Read More

"Best online educational experience I have ever had."
Pros:
#1 Mentor Support: Having a dedicated mentor made a huge difference. Weekly one-on-ones provided feedback, encouragement, and clarity when I hit roadblocks, and insights into the industry and how the field is evolving. Can't give this part of the... Read More
Acknowledges AI’s Growing Role: I was initially concerned that the program might ignore AI’s impact on design. While they don’t explicitly teach AI tools, they do thoughtfully incorporate how emerging AI technologies can support UX workflows, which was something I really appreciated.
Thoughtful Curriculum: The course builds progressively, helping beginners and career-switchers develop real confidence in UX—from research and sketching to wireframes and visual design.
Hands-On Learning: Working on a real project and moving from idea to execution made the learning process both practical and inspiring.
Flexible Yet Structured: While self-paced, the course still has a strong framework of deadlines and mentor check-ins to keep momentum going.
Cons:
Time-Intensive: Balancing this course with other responsibilities requires strong time management, especially in the later units when projects get more complex.
Figma Material Needs Updating: Some tutorials reference older versions of Figma, which can cause confusion. A refresh to match the latest Figma interface would improve the experience.

"What a great educational platform to learn UI / UX design!"
This program offers a solid, well-paced introduction to UI design that's easy to follow and highly informative for beginners. The content is well-structured and easy to digest. I have no cons; just be patient with yourself as you learn something new!

"My experience was rewarding, challenging and fun."
Great for those who want to learn at their own self paced.
Good for those who like to be challenged and improve themselves.
Curriculum/Units I found to be pretty well/accurately timed and not too demanding of time and effort. Very well balanced.

"Good intro to UI/UX (but mostly UI)"
I had very little design knowledge coming into this, so I decided to take Design Lab's Foundations course to get familiar with Figma and also UI and UX concepts. The Foundations course is mostly the UI side, and the Academy is apparently more of the UX.... Read More

"Great base for a UX/UI learning!"
I studied UX on a different platform and left on the half way, because it was too hard and not very clear, because there were no mentor, and no feedback and I lost my motivation. On Designlab I liked the educational system of the platform, everything... Read More

"Interesting, relevant projects"
I learned a lot about the functionality of Figma and some though processes behind UX/UI design. As a design director with nearly 20 years of experience, the design education was a repeat for me, but fell in line with what I had learned in my previous... Read More
