About
This project was dedicated to creating an interface for graduates of the UXV certification course — something that had long been on the teachers’ to-do list. I was given the opportunity to turn this idea into reality and design the UX and UI for a digital space that reconnects graduates and helps them stay connected. A website accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
The Challenge
The goal was to build a site graduates return to, forming an active UXV community to stay in touch, for inspiration and job search support. But with a WhatsApp group already in place, the website needed to deliver unique value that chat alone couldn’t provide.
Who are the main users?
A
The graduates
B
The teacher
Juniors
Recent graduates who completed the course 1–3 years ago, with non or very little UX experience.
Pain points:
- It is difficult to build a Portfolio and CV
- Who can I ask for UX advice?
- How can I gain experience?
- How can I land my first job in UX?
Mid-Senior Level
Graduates with several years of experience in the field.
Pain points:
- How can I find someone at the company I want to apply to provide a referral?
- Where can I find a Junior to provide mentroship
- Where can I share and get inspiration?
The Teacher
A top professional in the field, having taught over 900 UX students.
Pain points:
- I can’t remember all of my students without seeing a picture
- Many students contact me needing help to find the next position. I want to help but I am limited with time.
Let's ask the Graduates
25 Participants • UXV Graduates
To build a platform graduates actually want to use, it was essential to first ask for their input. 25 Graduates aged 28–50 completed a questionnaire sharing insights about their employment status, current field, desired website features, professional challenges they still face, and ideas for the website’s name. Their feedback revealed exactly what’s needed to transform a simple site into a vibrant hub for the UXV community.

UI Design
After designing the wire frames I designed the interface of the website. The design needed to convey professionalism while also creating a warm, family-like community feeling. Hence, I chose blue as the main color for the professional look, and some colors to give it a warmer feel.
