Registration — Step 1 of 2
UX Forge Academy · Cohort 1 · Registration Open
An 8-week live UI/UX design program for complete beginners in Lagos — and anywhere else in Nigeria with a laptop and internet. Small cohort. Real feedback. A portfolio at the end, not just a certificate.
Deadline: July 25, 2026, 11:59 PM WAT — only 20 seats available for Cohort 1.
The Program
Every week builds on the last — from how to think about design, to a published case study you can show a client or an employer.
What UX actually means, the design process, and Nigerian app examples — Kuda, PiggyVest, Paystack, Flutterwave.
Interviews, surveys, personas. Designing for real people, not assumptions.
Sitemaps and user flows — how to structure an app before touching Figma.
Low-fidelity design in Figma. Structure before visual design. Your first real screens.
Typography, colour theory, spacing, grids, hierarchy. Where design gets beautiful.
Components, auto layout, design systems. Figma from beginner to confident.
Clickable prototypes, real user testing, and iterating on actual feedback.
Present your project, publish your case study, and graduate with proof of work.

"Learning UI/UX with you has been an amazing experience. You took me from knowing nothing about UI/UX to understanding the fundamentals and confidently designing as a beginner. I also appreciate how intentional you are with teaching — you make every class engaging, encourage questions, and are always willing to help."

A laptop (Figma doesn't work well on mobile) and reliable internet access. That's it.
Every session is recorded, so you can always catch up.
Yes. You graduate with a portfolio case study — the thing that actually gets you hired or wins clients.
