From Basics to Advanced Interactive Components with Expert Guidance
User interface design (UI) and user experience design (UX) are crucial parts of determining the final output of software, applications, or processes. UI/UX design has many benefits, as it greatly influences how users might use or uninstall an app, as well as the retention rate of an app or software. Welcome to this course, future designers! In this course, we will learn to design interfaces using Figma as the primary design tool.
Figma makes it fun and easy to get your designs up to speed with positive outcomes, especially when you use a creative approach to doing what you love best. This lesson teaches you to use shapes (components) and tools to create stunning user interfaces. The main course projects include several steps to learning how to build and design interfaces and interactive components, including dynamic flip cards, text hover effects, auto-scrolling text (marquee), a music player, a slide-up card component, and much more.
This course is for anybody who wants to start with user interface design. It collaborates with Jacqueline Asare Dartey, a UI/UX expert in using Figma and Adobe XD.

He then took a certification course on Computer Science Principles using App Inventor and one in Business Strategies for a Better World. He has an overarching goal of putting people and the planet over profit, and he believes in using intuitive tools for education and experiential learning. Kelvin worked as a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) programs manager for the Girls Education Initiative of Ghana (GEIG). He developed the STEAM curriculum for students and assisted four in gaining web development scholarships at Soronko Academy in Accra. He also freelanced at Soronko Academy, leading a team of young girls to win the 'International Girls in ICT Day' celebration. Kelvin founded AnybodyCanDevelop (ABCD) when he discovered that learners were introduced to programming while at GEIG and started finding other software of interest. Studying some of these tools led him to develop content focused on the arts and technology, using intuitive technology to democratize learning. His content is being used in 174 countries across the globe by people of all ages. Kelvin is now a learning management associate lead at Brainiqs Projects Lab and a learning and development team member at GhanaTechLab. He creates content to help improve workers' and students' learning outcomes. He has helped develop a mobile application curriculum for students and an artificial intelligence curriculum for GhanaTechLab's Africa Artificial Intelligence Accelerator program. Â
