“After chatting with Radu on another site, he graciously agreed to review my portfolio and offered a 30-minute call to go over his thoughts in-depth. Throughout our conversations, he went above and beyond to help me learn how I could improve the presentation of my case studies and provide insight into what hiring managers look for when reviewing portfolios. His expertise is apparent in the way he condenses broad subjects into simple terms while making sure I understand the 'why'. I'm grateful for his support!”

The goal of this specialization is to equip learners with a set of transferable formal and conceptual tools for “making and communicating” in the field of graphic design. This core skill set will equip learners for formal studies in graphic design, and a starting point for further work in interface design, motion graphics, and editorial design.

You will learn how to design technologies that bring people joy, rather than frustration. You'll learn how to generate design ideas, techniques for quickly prototyping them, and how to use prototypes to get feedback from other stakeholders like your teammates, clients, and users. You'll also learn principles of visual design, perception, and cognition that inform effective interaction design.

Fitbit App Gallery

For this project I owned and developed from scratch the UI and UX inside the Fitbit App that allows you to get apps and clock faces for the new Fitbit Ionic.
-
Vector Watch Developer Portal
-
For this project I owned and built the entire Vector Watch Developer Portal UX and UI that allowed developers to create watch faces and streams for the Vector Watch, with apps being planned but never built. I would call it a success as over 1800 developers signed up in just under 4 months and we had thousands of submissions to review and release in our Vector App Store.
