[VIRTUAL] UX Fundamentals: Making tech approachable
Details
Topic:
At this meetup, Elly will talk through key user experience fundamentals that can help you design and build better software. For example, coaching on how important it is to consider what the customer is doing instead of what your system is doing. How to write in a purposeful, concise, and conversational style. She’ll introduce the concept of conversational design - imaging that a human is saying everything in your app to your customer, and how that might change what you build. The talk will also include pics of cute goats and cats.
Skill Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced):
Beginner
