Regardless of your experience with professional writing in UX, this course is designed to introduce you to the exciting world of UX writing. UX, or user experience, is critical for any business looking to attract and retain a loyal customer base in today's digital age. The field has grown exponentially over the past two decades as more and more of our lives are spent on screens.

While this course will be great for people new to UX writing, even seasoned veterans might find something new to consider. Is your UX writing properly aligned with the audience? Is the UX writing adequate for diversity, equity, and inclusion? Is your UX writing properly deployed for accessibility and the needs of every user? UX writing is a powerful tool for creating digital experiences that engage, inspire, and inform. As we work through this course together, my hope is that you will develop a passion for UX writing and creating user experiences that are inclusive, accessible, and connect with your users.
