Introduction to User Experience Design (Skillshare)

IUX Design is fun and challenges. Don't be afraid to ask questions early and often. This class is about how to think and make solutions to problems using the tools of UX Design. Some skills you will learn in this class are: how to write personas & user scenarios, build out wireframes, and from the wireframes create a prototype using a style guide. I would love to see what you all create for the class project.

Think of an experience (digital or physical) that could be improved. Who is the experience for, and how would you go about creating this experience for them?
Design Softwares to choose from: Adobe XD (free), Sketch (30day trial), Principle (14day trial), Axure (30day trial), and Invision (free)
Steps:

  1. Persona & User Journey: who is this for & how will the solution fit into their life?
  2. Wireframes: what are you making and how will it work?
  3. Style guide: how will this engage the audience?
  4. Prototype: using wireframe and style-guide to create a prototype.

Tips:

  • Choose an experience that is familiar.
  • Don't worry about making it perfect.
  • Be iterative, don't be scared to change a design if it isn't working the way you thought it would.

I would love to see how your wireframes translated into the prototype.

Validating product ideas with interviews for Product Managers (Skillshare)

I designed this course for Product Managers who have new product or feature ideas and would like to talk to customers and learn whether their idea will fly. This is the first and ultimate question in product development: do customers need my product? Do they need it so dearly that they would actually pay for it? So, how do you figure this out before actually building the product? Well, user research has your back covered. You can find out whether customers need a product or a feature even before you wrote a single line of code.

Know Your Audience - Bring Your Personas to Life! (Skillshare)

User Personas - high-level descriptions of your target audience's needs and challenges - are becoming mainstays for software product teams. But like many other requirements documentation, they can often feel flat, overly generic, and nearly useless once development has actually begun. In becoming “just another form to fill out,” your User Personas have lost connection with their original purpose: to help product teams build connection and empathy with your primary customer base, and in doing so provide the grounding basis for fast and deliberate decision making.
