Skillshare - Move from Graphic Design to UI/UX | Design a Mobile App From Scratch

UI/UX Design is the best job in the world... and this class will teach you how to transition from Graphic design to this innovative, adventurous design field.

In this 60-minute class, I will share my design process and experiences of making a switch from graphic design to UI/UX design.
