In attending this workshop you'll learn how to use straightforward UX design and research techniques to better understand your users’ needs, validate your design concepts, generate discussions, facilitate communication and make design decisions early on and fast, allowing you to make immediate improvements to the user experience of your product. Marko and Tin will introduce to you practical UX approaches and insights showcasing various tools and techniques set around the following key topics:

  • Design as a business strategy (design thinking, human-centered design)
  • Understanding people’s needs (user interviews, customer journey mapping)
  • Content and communication (controlled vocabulary, voice and tone, microcopy)
  • Design sprints (benefits, methods, prototyping, lessons learned)

 

With the above in mind, you'll learn how to:

  • Design with users in mind,
  • Design on schedule and on budget,
  • Make critical decisions fast,
  • Work collaboratively,
  • Validate concepts,
  • Innovate successfully.

The workshop features engaging exercises throughout the day – with plenty of time set aside for design critique and feedback – designed to allow you to openly experiment with ideas and apply what you've learnt the moment you head out of the door.
