For nearly two decades, BRIDGEGOOD has delivered programs that break down barriers affecting opportunities for women and underrepresented designers of color to participate in the global design ecosystem. By 2030, our goal is to train 40,000 student participants to enter one of three career paths:

1. User Experience (UX) Design – Enhancing user satisfaction by improving the usability, accessibility, and overall experience of digital products.
2. User Interface (UI) Design – Ensuring intuitive, aesthetically engaging interfaces that enhance the user’s journey.
3. Product Design – Developing innovative, user-centered products from concept to production.

As job titles evolve in the tech sector, BRIDGEGOOD ensures the skills we teach are flexible, adaptable, and robust — empowering students to transcend traditional design roles and enter emerging fields such as Experience Design (XD), Design Operations (DesignOps), and beyond. Our approach prioritizes real-world application, industry-relevant training, and continuous skill development to prepare the next generation of designers for success in an ever-changing landscape.
