About UX Content Collective
The UX Content Collective brings 50 years of cumulative industry experience to life through online courses and training to arm future generations of UX writers, content strategists, and conversation designers with the knowledge they need to succeed.
Who is the UX Content Collective?
UX Content Collective is the leading provider of UX writing and content design training for professionals and teams around the world.
We help content professionals – from aspiring content designers to senior content strategists – develop the skills to create user experiences that are clear, inclusive, and human-centered.
Since our founding, we’ve trained thousands of students in dozens of countries, and worked with teams at companies like Google, LEGO, Atlassian, Uber, ServiceNow, and many more.
Our mission is simple: to raise the standard of digital content design, one course, one team, and one student at a time.
How did UX Content Collective begin?
UX Content Collective was founded by a team of experienced content designers and educators who saw a gap in the industry.
While UX design programs were gaining traction, training specifically focused on UX content, microcopy, and product writing was rare.
We launched our first online course – the Fundamentals of UX Writing – to meet this need. It quickly became the industry’s go-to starting point for anyone entering the field.
From there, we expanded into advanced courses on content research, voice and tone, content accessibility, content systems, and AI in content design.
Today, our curriculum covers everything from the basics of UX writing to strategic content leadership and complex product ecosystems.
