Zander Whitehurst
Founder of Memorisely
"Hey! My name is Zander and I'm the founder & CEO of Memorisely. I studied at Oxford University, New York University, and was an early member of Hotjar's remote product design team. I've been Product Designer for a decade and have grown a community of
150,000 UX/UI designers. I'm an Educator Advisory Board member for Figma and have taught Designers at Google, Nasa, Airbnb, Spotify, and Uber. I'm a super enthusiastic teacher and don't believe in powerpoint presentations!"
UX/UI design tools
Our bootcamps are designed around the latest UX/UI design tools. Unlike corporate courses that have a fixed tool-stack from decades past, we believe it's important to equip designers with the latest tool-stack to excel in their career.
Micro UX/UI Class
Join a micro class of 15 UX/UI designers around the world
We think it's vital to have a personalised learning experience and we purposefully limit class sizes to 15 designers. Keeping class sizes small, ensures we can cover more in the time we have and you'll learn directly from other designers. Plus, it's a safe place to learn with the whole class contributing to discussions and sharing feedback.
UX/UI Alumni
Meet our UX/UI Design Bootcamp Alumni
We're proud to educate designers around the world and take a lotta pride in forming a supportive alumni. We throw quarterly alumni events and often have alumni return to Bootcamps as guest speakers.
"Memorisely has reinforced what I've known as a UI/UX designer and has enabled me to challenge my own assumptions to become a better designer by teaching today's latest tools with a hands-on approach to problem solving, creative thinking, and design."
"The bootcamp has helped me gain understanding and confidence about my role as a Product Designer. I now have a clearer vision of the processes I should be implementing into my workflows."
"The bootcamp has helped me gain understanding and confidence about my role as a Product Designer. I now have a clearer vision of the processes I should be implementing into my workflows."
"Remote work has never been so popular, and I can't think of a better time to take the UX/UI Bootcamp. Being able to learn different skills for your process and to collaborate with others while doing live exercises with people from around the globe is just a great experience."
"The live-learning approach can't be beat. Zander keeps things engaging and your classmates hold you accountable! The culture couldn't be better."
"I've honestly never had a more positive classroom experience. The instruction is top-notch, we learn skills and do work that we're proud to share, and the community is second to none 💪."
"Honestly Memorisely just functions so differently compared to other bootcamps. It’s authentic, updated frequently to keep up with the fast-paced evolving industry, and the community is amazing!! Made some really good friends :)"
"My experience with the Bootcamp have been nothing but positive - The duration of this Bootcamp is very suitable and accommodating to my schedule as well as it is not too long or short.At the same time, I needed a refresher for UX to upgrade my skills and was intrigued by the course content so that I can be more confident as a designer."
"Very customised and super welcoming. I love the small class size and the process. Do it... do it now 😆"
"Memorisely has been an excellent experience! Zander has put together an excellent, no frills, course that is highly engaging paired with an extremely welcoming environment. After each class I feel like I have a solid understanding of the lesson, and I'm able to take that into the design tasks."
"Because of the normal price, the small class size and I think it gave me a more friendly, personal vibe, on other course students seems like a number in the class.And I think it also helps that I was before already in the Slack community, which I really like. :)"
"Are you ready? Hold on! You're going to dive in and learn skills you've been dreaming of mastering and skills you didn't even know you'd need in an engaging and collaborative format."
"It's the live classes for me. They're super engaging and it's great that you guys are almost always available. Personally, it's pretty close to being the perfect balance of autonomy vs assistance. There's plenty of work to complete too. Also, my designer neighbor is impressed with the work so that's reassuring!"

Bootcamp Questions
Got a question about our UX/UI Design Bootcamp?
Chances are at this stage you have a couple questions. We encourage our students to ask
any questions ahead of the Bootcamp
Each bootcamp has 15 designers. For us, it's important to keep these bootcamps super personal. This personal model ensures we can support and motivate 100% of students to graduate and have an awesome experience.
We have a mix of experienced designers looking to switch to a remote career, junior designers learning the latest workflows, and folks switching career. The mix of designers keeps the learning diverse and those with experience typically step up to support juniors. We try to craft a neat feedback loop for everyone and don't require you to have had any UX/UI experience.
All learning is done remotely. Before the bootcamp you'll be invited to a private slack space to meet your classmates from around the world. Each week you'll join a zoom class together and throughout the bootcamp we encourage you to collaborate, and constantly feedback to learn-by-doing.
Two reasons.
Firstly, our Bootcamps differ from typical online courses. Unlike online courses that are sold for having 60hr+ of video behind a paywall, Memorisely Bootcamps are immersive learning experiences. Typical online courses have a 12.6% completion rate, whereas we pride ourselves on measuring success with a 98% completion rate from students. So instead of trying to teach yourself by goggling at a video, you'll join a fun class and be taught!
Secondly, you'll be joining classmates around the world, motivating, collaborating and learning from each other. We consider these micro classes, and together you'll graduate and likely remain design buddies for life 🙌
