Instructor Details

Aaron Lawrence

Hello, I'm Aaron. I'm a principle UX designer at a company called Pivotal and UX instructor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

I've been doing design for 13 years and yes, you should take my class, whether you're a beginner or want to pick up some advanced techniques, this class will guide you through the UX design process. We'll go through user center design  and design thinking philosophies, then stop at each section and deep dive into the tools, best practices & design methods, turning the abstract into easy to understand, tactical take aways. I've spent countless hours creating this content & downloadable documents that help you practice each topic. A lot of this content is what I teach at the university level and available for you.

My bliss mode is designing and making things for people to use. I practice lean and agile methodologies, alongside user-centered design, design thinking, UX research, assumption validation, interaction design, user testing, component driven design, and visual design. All of which you can learn by watching my UX design 101 class.

Thanks and Happy Designing

I was looking for a high level overview of what UX is and how it works. In addition to that I go in-the-field information of how to conduct a UX research project with scripts and what to expect different scenarios. This was exactly what I was hoping for as an intro, I am by no means a UX master but I do have an understanding of what the basics include.

By Richard Monyer on 6/15/2023

An excellent course and well organized. Just the right blend of information to help me get started. Aaron provides a lot of great resources and uses a very simple app design to teach the principles. It is very effective. I'd recommend this course to anyone just getting started in UX design or needing a refresher with some great advise.

By Indra Sutedja on 10/26/2020

I have been working as a web developer for more than 8 years and I am doing this class to refresh my UI/UX knowledge base. Aaron did a great job on giving the bird eye view on UX design process and some deep dive on particular aspects. I actually watched at 1.5 speed so I was able to finish everything within 3 hours. It was definitely worth it. Some people complained that he read through his website... but actually he used his website merely as visual aids, and gave a great lecture throughout. The only con I found was few typos here and there that somewhat reduced his credibility on best UX practices. If he can fix those typos and update the lecture on Adobe XD to the latest version, the class would have been excellent.

Amazing class! I am barely getting into UI/ UX and this course did an amazing job at explaining the fundamentals and what really goes into UI / UX. This is a good place to start if you're barely getting into UI / UX and you want a straightforward roadmap of what goes into it. I know I looked at a few other classes, but was usually overwhelmed with all the knowledge that was being thrown in one go, so I definitely feel like this course does a great job at really breaking down the content into smaller steps with clear and concise ideas. It also shared really nice examples to go along with all the talking points being given.

By Allison Everitt on 9/12/2020

I really liked this course! Unfortunately my mac is too outdated for Adobe XD, so I'll need to learn prototyping on Figma which is why I've already enrolled in Aaron's figma course! I thought Aaron was thorough and gave a really good basic understanding of what the role of UX can look like. He offers some really great resources and access to his real college course material. I appreciated the step by step walk through of the design process from start to finish. The only process I would have liked more information on was, how to obtain participants for your research? I feel like getting someone, especially a random stranger, to commit one hour of their time with likely nothing in return, has to be kinda hard right? If you are brand new to UX and trying to build your portfolio and develop case studies, how would you suggest obtaining participants (without the ability to pay them) and what is the general rule of thumb for how many participants you should have? Is it ethical to use social media to conduct some of these interviews, where you know there is a large platform of users already viewing your content?

By Yunus Motala on 8/17/2020

Fairly good course for beginners to get a overview and insight into UX Design, although would be nice for the author to structure this course better, so for each section have a beginning, middle and end. It felt a bit cluttered at times, for example the personas of the users, as someone who is new to UX design, I am not sure how to use these or where to use these, other than create one. The Tutor also needs to speak a little louder.

By Monica K on 8/9/2020

It's great that the courses based on the actual college class but felt like the course only covered the portion of it. Wish there were more chapters or sections to really cover the whole. The professor really shared a lot of things in the short period of time. He covered from the fundamentals of UX, process, examples, and even creating the prototypes using Adobe XD.

By Jasmind Thomas on 6/15/2020

I took this course because I am looking to transition to the UX Design field. I got a Bachelor's in Digital Art & Multimedia Design some time ago, however, after graduation my focus shifted to sales and marketing. I signed up for this course to see if a career in UX design would fit my future career goals and I believe it does. I already possess the people, sales and marketing skills, now it's just a matter of brushing up on the design! I found Aaron's course thorough, informative and appreciated the downloadable information that I can revisit once I delve more into the process of designing. I'm sure I'll revisit this course in the months to come and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in starting a career in UX Design.

By Ali Fishman on 3/29/2020

Very informative and thorough for a course so short. Basically the speed-read version of all the bootcamps that are out there right now (but for a fraction of the price and time). Having already been aware of a lot of these terms and theories/methods, this was a nice way to supplement my education. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to dip their toes into UX/UI/Product design!

By Peter on 1/9/2020

I really enjoyed the course. I was mainly interested in the UX/UI design and wireframing creation of which I have very little experience. I have extensive Design Thinking and MVP experience but was lacking the next step of design and prototyping. Normally in my projects, I had to rely on others for this. Aarons explanation of each process and how easy designing wireframes is top class. His methods are easy to follow, understand and it opens you up for creativity. I followed his instructions video for video and understanding the design process allowed me to become more confident in my style of design. Great course. I fast-tracked this skill in my freelancer offerings.
