It is not difficult for a well-trained UX designer to apply proven UX patterns. However, knowledge of style and form is often lacking among UX designers and underexposed in the field of UX. In this training you will learn to make better work by building on the work of your predecessors and developing a clear style and visual language. We analyze the different styles in applied art history and apply them in the design of contemporary digital products and platforms.

Unlike fashion and architecture, in the field of UX it's less common to come to design solutions from a style perspective. The endless repetition of homogeneous UX patterns predominate. In this training you will learn how to relate your work to references from (applied) art history. By building on the great work of your predecessors, you will also learn to work as a 'scientist' and bring the work for your clients to a high-end level.

Our mission is to improve the quality of the design output of in-house UX teams. We do this by training UX designers in design craftsmanship. But we also provide training to stakeholders in the design process, such as product and product owners and scrum masters. We teach them how to manage and foster design quality in an agile organization.
