Founded in 2016
A platform built around how people actually learn
Domain started as a small experiment — 3 instructors, 1 structured course on interaction design, and a strong suspicion that most online learning moved too fast to stick.
What we actually do
User experience design taught with enough structure to be useful, and enough space to be honest about difficulty.
View the programmeThe first version of Domain had 12 lessons. They were written by a practitioner who spent 9 years doing interface research at a mid-sized software company. No stock footage, no inspirational narration.
Today Domain offers courses covering research methods, visual hierarchy, interaction patterns, and accessibility standards. Each course goes through at least 3 review cycles before it publishes.
- Curriculum reviewed and updated every 8 months against current tools and practices
- Learners work in actual software — Figma, Maze, and Dovetail — not simulated environments
- Instructor feedback is written and specific, not auto-generated
Petra has spent 11 years doing usability testing and product design before joining Domain. She built the module sequencing framework used across all 17 courses.
Dmitri runs the qualitative research track, drawing on 8 years of UX research in fintech. He insists every lesson includes at least one case where the first design was wrong.
Anouk leads the accessibility and inclusive design track. Before Domain, she consulted with 4 European government agencies on digital accessibility compliance.
Rashid handles course scheduling, learner pacing, and the quarterly review process. He has tracked over 2,400 learner feedback forms since joining in 2019.
