Enroll in This Career Program

If you're a problem-solver and big-picture thinker, this certificate program turns your ideas into products people value. No prior design skills needed. You'll build on the strategic thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving skills you already have.

Product designers own the full design process from research to post-launch iterations. It’s a human-centered design role that combines user experience, user interfaces, business goals, and strategy.

  • Core skills: You'll master the full product design process: user research, wireframing, prototyping, interaction design, usability testing, visual design, and data-driven decision-making. And what most programs don't teach you: how to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.

  • AI skills: Employers want product designers who can use AI to research, prototype, and test faster and with higher quality, while applying critical thinking and empathy. You'll also learn how to design AI products and features that people trust and want to use.

  • Foundational design skills: You'll learn perception, memory, cognition, and emotion to understand how people think and behave. That means your design decisions are grounded in how the human mind works.

  • Learn from 30 industry leaders who help you build your skills one step at a time.

  • Build 3–10 job-ready case studies with expert guidance to help you land your first product design role.
