UX Design
Open briefPractice challenges.
Short scenario briefs you can finish as portfolio case studies. Not a full capstone. Pick a level, ship a defense.
Website briefs (Project A) and Capstone Projects (Project B) stay separate. Use these between cohort weeks or for interview prep.
How a challenge works
-
Read the brief
User, goals, scope, and what to submit. Stay inside the rails.
-
Ship the deliverable
Screens, research, or foundations. Finish something you can put in a portfolio.
-
Defend one decision
Critique rewards why, not decoration. Use the Defense section in each brief.
