Advanced UI Design
Nevan Scott
Design Teacher
Sharpen your UI judgment
Advanced UI is an 8-week course for experienced designers—sharpen your judgment, elevate your craft, and design interfaces that feel as good as they look, no matter the tools you use.
A cohort-based experience—small learner groups of 6–8 designers, guided by Nevan, who will both teach you and challenge your decisions in live, structured critique sessions.
Practical by design—learn through a mix of text, images, videos, interactive content, live workshops, hands-on exercises and weekly projects.
Expect to spend ~10 hours per week moving through content, designing, iterating, and taking part in live sessions.
What you’ll learn
Develop the ever-green skills that define senior-level UI design
Spot and refine UI details like spacing, alignment, and contrast that shape how interfaces feel
Make confident, intentional visual decisions that improve clarity, balance, and usability
Look beyond surface polish to understand the underlying structure of UI designs
Use “x-ray vision” to diagnose and improve UI structure, not just visual detail
Create adaptive interfaces that respond to real human behavior over minutes, days, and teams
Anticipate friction, handoffs, and edge cases in multi-step and multi-user experiences
Synthesize the three 'visions' into a cohesive, end-to-end UI solution—choose one of our curated options or bring your own real-world brief
Produce a polished, portfolio-ready capstone that demonstrates advanced UI craft and decision-making
