Do I need any prior design or software experience?

No. This bootcamp is designed specifically for people who have never used Figma, Bolt, or any design tool before. The Figma Starter Kit bonus is included precisely to eliminate setup time and get you designing from the first hour of Saturday. Every tool is introduced at the moment you need it, not in advance.

What is the brief - is it the same for every student?

Yes. Every student works on the same design brief so that critique sessions can be comparative and meaningful. The brief changes each cohort. It is revealed Friday evening so students arrive on Saturday ready to design rather than spending time understanding the problem.

Is this online or in-person?

The bootcamp runs live online. Students in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune may have access to in-person co-working space options during the bootcamp - check with the team at hello@designient.com for the current cohort's in-person options.

What if I fall behind during the bootcamp?

The curriculum is designed to be completable within the three days for a student with no prior experience. Mentors actively check progress throughout Saturday and Sunday and support students who are moving slowly. The guarantee is structured around output - if you are present and engaged and still do not have the five artefacts by Sunday evening, the full refund applies.

I already know basic Figma. Is this still worth attending?

Yes, if you have never completed a full design process from research to prototype. The value is not Figma instruction - it is completing the full workflow, getting live critique, and shipping five portfolio artefacts in one weekend. Students with some Figma experience often produce stronger Saturday work and have more time for iteration.

What happens after the bootcamp?

The natural next step is the UI UX Design Pro course - 10 weeks, full curriculum, real client internship, and structured placement assistance. 90% of Pro students attend the Bootcamp first. There is no obligation to continue. The Bootcamp is a complete standalone program.

Is the certificate recognised by employers?

It is a Designient certificate, not a government or university certificate. Employers in the Indian design market recognise Designient by its placement record and the quality of student portfolios - not by the institutional weight of the certificate itself. The portfolio you build is more valuable to a hiring manager than the certificate.

What tools do I need to have set up before Friday?

The pre-bootcamp setup guide is sent to all registered students one week before the cohort starts. You need a Figma account (free), a Bolt account (free), a Perplexity account (free tier is sufficient), and a Claude account (free tier is sufficient). Setup takes under 30 minutes.

UI UX Design Bootcamp: Build a Portfolio-Ready Product in 3 Days - No Experience Required

One weekend. One real brief. One product designed, prototyped, and presented using the same AI tools working designers use every day. You leave with a research document, a Figma design file, a Bolt prototype, a written case study, and a certificate - not a tutorial you watched, but a product you built.

What You Will Build This Weekend

Five artefacts. All built live. All yours to keep and present.

Friday3-day build sprintSunday

Portfolio artefacts

Days live

Weekend sprint

Module 1

Artefact 1: Research Brief

Produced Friday evening using Perplexity and Claude. You identify a real user problem, research competitors, and synthesise findings into a structured brief that guides Saturday's design work.

Module 2

Artefact 2: Figma Design File

Produced Saturday. Includes user personas built with JTBD framework, a journey map, information architecture diagram, user flow, wireframes built with Figma Make, and three polished final screens designed with visual design principles applied.

Module 3

Artefact 3: Bolt Prototype

Produced Sunday. A functional prototype of your product that a user can actually interact with - not a click-through Figma mockup, a Bolt-deployed product with real interactions.

Module 4

Artefact 4: Case Study

Written Sunday. A structured document explaining your design decisions - why you made each choice, what the research said, how you responded to critique, and what you would do differently with more time.

Module 5

Artefact 5: Prompt Chain Documentation

A record of every AI prompt you used across the three days - what you asked, how you refined it, and what the output was. This document is increasingly requested by design employers in 2026 as evidence of AI fluency.

Every artefact below is built during the bootcamp - not after it.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday - The Full Schedule

Friday 7pm – 10pm - Research and Brief

Brief reveal: the real design problem every student will solve. Perplexity research sprint - competitive landscape, user pain points, existing solutions. Claude synthesis - turning raw research into a structured design brief. By 10pm, every student has a brief that frames Saturday's design work.

Tools: Perplexity, Claude

Deliverable: Research brief

Saturday 10am – 7pm - Research to Design

Morning: User personas built using the JTBD framework with Claude. Journey mapping in Figma - where users fail, where they succeed, where the design opportunity is. Afternoon: Information architecture and user flow. Wireframing in Figma Make. Visual design - applying colour, typography, spacing, and component logic. Claude Design for visual direction and copy. Live critique loop - every student receives mentor feedback on their work before the end of the day.

Tools: Claude, Figma Make, Figma, Claude Design

Deliverable: Figma file with IA diagram, user flow, and 3 polished screens

Sunday 10am – 7pm - Prototype, Test, Write, Present

Morning: Building the Bolt prototype. Simulated usability testing using Claude to identify where users would get confused or drop off. Iterating based on test findings. Afternoon: Case study writing. Prompt chain documentation. Student presentations - each student presents their product, their process, and their case study to the full cohort. Certificate issued on presentation completion.

Tools: Bolt, Claude

This Is Not a Tutorial - It Is a 3-Day Build Sprint

Design tutorials teach you to follow steps. This bootcamp gives you a real brief, a live cohort, and three days to ship something from scratch.

Friday evening you research. Saturday you design. Sunday you build, test, write, and present.

By Sunday evening you have five things that did not exist on Friday: a research brief, a Figma design file with real screens, a Bolt prototype that functions, a written case study, and a certificate.

Every single one of those was built by you on a real problem, not a pre-made template someone else completed before the session started.
