Want to become a UX designer?
UX designers are in high demand, and their salaries reflect this fact.
You’ll have fun working in this dynamic field, and you’ll develop timeless, transferrable skills.
Why not give UX a go?
Consider your options for learning UX:
Learning at a UX bootcamp
$1,500 to $10,000
10 weeks to 9 months
In a word: expensive! Expect to pay $1,500 to $10,000 for a bootcamp that will take from 10 weeks to 6 months to complete.
Learning at Design school
Over $15,000
More than a year
In three words: even more expensive! Design school tuition costs over $15,000, and candidates usually take more than a year to complete a course.
Learn by yourself
$100 to $1000
Forever
This option is generally inexpensive (less than $500), but the trial-and-error stage can be much longer than you’d expect, and you risk missing out on the structural knowledge your UX career will demand.
A $100K question
A UX designer’s annual salary is generally $65K-100K USD.
If you knew you could land a $100K job, how much would you be willing to invest in yourself?
What's in the course?
The UX Career Starter course, which I’ve developed from the world’s best resources on learning UX, contains articles, videos, and online resource links.
In 8 hours, you’ll learn the skills essential for landing your first UX design job.

Hi there! I’m Bear, a Product Designer, a Design Mentor, and an Apple Award-Winning Podcast Host.
I’m a self-taught designer with a science educational background who has helped large enterprises, startups, and clients across China, the US, and New Zealand with digital products – for over 16 years. Between my work hours and family time, I read, draw, do podcasts and make videos around tech, design and productivity.
My journey
After working for over 10 years as a graphic and multimedia designer, I moved to a new country without any local working experience, let alone experience in UX. This was a challenging but stimulating move, right? I taught myself UX in 6 months and landed my first UX job with New Zealand's top fitness company. Now, I'm a Product Designer at one of the best tech companies in the Southern Hemisphere, and I'm mentoring design students to transition their career to design and start their UX Design journey.
