Collaborative UX Design: Research
Course Description
Well-designed interactive products become most successful when they account for the complete context of their creation: from business strategy and brand narrative to well-crafted interfaces and targeted end goals. Consequently, the best products require collaboration between various domains (designers, software engineers, and product managers) working toward a common goal. Every student in this class will gain a rich experience in real-world product creation.
Students are invited to think of themselves as more than designers but as co-founders, not just students but entrepreneurs. For you and your teams, collaboration should not be limited to each member’s own domain of expertise and should compound your team members’ strengths through frequent collaboration, iteration, and validation.
