We need to understand the people using our products so we start by learning the basics of human-centered design.
We learn how to do Market Research and how we can develop prototype users – so-called Personas to help us further improve our design. We talk about User Stories and User Scenarios which in combination with Use Cases allow us to test our design and discover any possible errors.
Sensible Information architecture is incredibly important which is why we will teach you how you can use techniques such as card sorting to improve the user flow and navigation of your products.
Designing a User Experience is always a process so we’ll look at how we can incorporate Design Thinking and Lean UX into our work, and make sure that our products are as accessible as possible we also cover the most important Usability Heuristics you should pay attention to.
