Context

  • About

    LABASAD is an online design school offering specialized master’s programs in UX/UI, branding, and digital creativity. I taught in the UX/UI Online Master (3rd, 4th, and 5th editions), focusing on building practical skills in interface design, prototyping, and collaboration.

  • Challenge

    Students joined from diverse regions and experience levels, requiring a clear, scalable learning structure that supported asynchronous work and encouraged hands-on growth. The goal was to build confidence in design tools while preparing them for real-world UX/UI challenges.

  • Impact

    I created and delivered a Figma-based curriculum—from fundamentals to advanced prototyping—and mentored over 100 students through iterative project work. Through live sessions, detailed feedback, and structured documentation, graduates left with a solid foundation in wireframing, testing, and design system thinking.
