This Sketch course provides participants with the skills for creating interactive, high-fidelity prototypes in the user experience (UX) process. The Sketch training provides hands-on experience with the tools and capabilities of this powerful prototyping tool. Participants learn to use the Layer list and Inspector to quickly create and re-use components in Sketch, enabling the sharing of website and app designs for testing and review. This Sketch workshop emphasizes foundation skills that are useful for Sketch users, and utilizes hands-on projects.
