GENERAL ASSEMBLY
USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN
1 week accelerated course
Before the course began, we highlighted individual problem areas that we wanted to explore and solve throughout the week.
My chosen problem area was
“Wedding planning can be a confusing and stressful time”.
We had to apply all of our learnings to this problem which became our final project. This course helped formalise my instincts into a structured design process and documentation.
