What are Uxcel Briefs?
Uxcel Briefs are hands-on, real-world project challenges designed to help learners apply their skills in practical product scenarios. Each Brief simulates a situation you might encounter in a modern product team—requiring critical thinking, creativity, and user-focused solutions.

They include a clear scenario, task, recommended tools, and curated resources to guide your approach. By completing a Brief, you can sharpen your problem-solving skills, grow your portfolio, and receive expert feedback from mentors.

Who are Uxcel Briefs for?
Anyone looking to strengthen their product thinking and communication skills can benefit from Briefs. While they're especially useful for designers, they’re also valuable for product managers, researchers, content strategists, and aspiring professionals who want to learn how to break down product challenges and present thoughtful solutions.
How do I earn a high score on a Brief?
Start by studying the scenario and completion criteria closely. Uxcel provides relevant lessons and resources to help you prepare before diving into the challenge. Treat each Brief like a real-world project: brainstorm ideas, consider multiple approaches, and test your decisions.
Strong submissions typically go through multiple iterations and demonstrate both problem-solving and attention to detail. You’ll also improve faster by reflecting on mentor feedback, identifying patterns in your mistakes, and applying those lessons to future projects.
