Intro to Product Design for Drones

This course is geared towards anyone interested in learning how to work as a UI/UX/ Product Designer in the drone industry. Transitioning into a new industry can be stressful, the goal of this course is to support designers interested in working in the drone industry- whether you know where to start or not. This e-course covers everything you need to know to feel confident in creating portfolio pieces and applying for jobs at drone companies.

What You’ll Learn

• A strong foundation understanding the drone industry.

• Breakdown of different types of drones, how they are controlled, and common terminology.

• UI standards for drone operations.

• UX standards for drone use cases.

• Overview of the FAA’s Part 107 License.

• Learn how to design for autonomous products that face public acceptance and criticism.

I transitioned from being a developer for 8+ years in the video game industry to working in UI/UX Design for drone products. My hope for this e-course is to support other designers who are interested in working the drone industry and make transitioning smoother for you.

I’ve shipped both numerous software applications and hardware products for drones for a myriad of customers – from professional photographers and athletes to defense and public safety agencies. Over the years I’ve spoken on Game UX for VR, Product Design for Drones, responsible design for emerging technologies, and social impact at GDC, AUVSI Xponential, AIAA SciTech, NASAO, and the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies Summit.

I hope you enjoy the course and please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions!

Lastly, this course does not cover the basics of mobile/web visual design nor how to conduct research- that would need to be a separate course.
