This is a quick overview of my design process which I can hardly call my own, because most of it is based on the work done by various experts in the field. I have compiled this to make it easier for anyone to get a quick overview of an end to end research to development lifecycle.
Julie Grundy gives an overview of user experience Design, why it's important, guiding principles, UX research overview, and tactics used by UX professionals. November 2015.
"A scenario is a description of a person’s interaction with a system.
Scenarios help focus design efforts on the user’s requirements, which are distinct from technical or business requirements.
Scenarios may be related to ‘use cases’, which describe interactions at a technical level. Unlike use cases, however, scenarios can be understood by people who do not have any technical background. They are therefore suitable for use during participatory design activities." http://infodesign.com.au/usabilityresources/scenarios/

Amy and Kieran were recently invited to represent Freerange by giving a one hour guest lecture – ‘Designing for Interactive User Interfaces’ – to Kieran's student group at UniSA. The lecture focused on application design specific to mobile – although the process can extend to any device.

By exploring a case in Ahmedabad, it highlights the challenges and processes in dairy farming across different environments, emphasising the need for sustainable practices and the essential role of milk in daily consumption.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

2. I am a passionate, hard working, and goal orientated UX designer. I bring to the
table a wealth of experience including years in Interior Design, Improv theatre, and
Peace Corps. I am looking to have an honest conversation about where I have been
and where I can bring the most of myself to the table. Where am I going to be most
useful. There is a reason I have had the experiences I have had and I am looking
forward to leveraging my experiences into future endevors. I want to join a team
where I can grow, inspire and be inspired.

5. General Assembly UXDI Project. Meetup would like to create a first-class means through
its website and apps to increase the ability of Organizsers and Hosts to find one another.
Our goal was heavily influenced by our
users as well as the business needs. We
found out after a client meeting with
Meetup that our orginal brief was not
necessarily the best fit for Meetup, and we
pivoted. Our goal became: To help
organizers find venues for Meetups
2 weeks
Project Manager/ Visual Designer
This team worked well collaboratively. I
worked as a point- of- contact with the
client, as well as made sure that everyone
on the team remained on the same page
as far was our goals were concerned,
especially given our midway pivot. I
worked on a lot of preliminary research
and was responsible for wireframes, and
prototypes.
MY ROLE:
TIME:BRIEF:
GOAL:
6. “How did you pick your Meet up venue?”
“It’s where I buy my groceries”
“It’s close to my favorite knitting supply shop”
We visited 7 Meetups to interview venue hosts, Meetup
organizers, and Meetup members
SURVEY
COMPETITIVE & COMPARITIVE RESEARCH
We researched Meetup to understand their culture, and brand
identity. We also found out they were closeby and I was able to
set up a Meetup at Meetup HQ.
This Client Meeting lead to a
huge, quick pivot. As our original
brief suggested creating a venue
buy-in, and our client made it
clear they were uninterested and
ill equipped to become a venue
database. It was important for us
to keep the business needs and
limitations in mind with the
users.
We conducted a feature analysis
to understand the Meetup
advantage, as well as how to
maintain the upperhand and
leverage any existing best
practices
We created surveys to understand Meetup users, both members
and organizers. This helped us to generate our user interview
questions
If you could
change your
venue, would you?

we were doing the best to MVP our application we took to the

9. Usability Testing. Our global navigation, labels, and all elementa
of our application were tested between 6 iterations of our
application.
Spans the course of our pivots of when we were focused first of
venue opperators and then focused in on how we could leverage
the information that was already available on Meetup.

11. General Assembly UXDI Project. Create a Native
Application with an existing brand, or partner. The iPhone
was debuted 8 years ago and along with it the
popularization of apps. Apps, as opposed to websites, are
built in Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android). Access to
hardware and OS level commands are the factors you will
focus on in this project (camera, GPS, compass, FM
transmitter, local storage, fingerprint scanner, refined
animations, etc).
Beginner guitar players quit, or give up
easily (1-2 months) because of lack of
motivation and losing interest.
People need a way to learn guitar that
keeps them motivated.
Our goal was heavily influenced by
our users as well as leveraging the
position/ existing applications and
technology of Yamaha.

It’s always been said that constraints make
design easier. This project was full of road
blocks and set backs. But I actually
enjoyed this project and learned more
from this more than any other. I took a
back seat in the visual design department
and really honed my skills in user research.
MY ROLE:
TIME:BRIEF:
GOAL:
PROBLEM:
12. SURVEY THE BRAND
COMPARITIVE RESEARCH
I researched all of Yamaha’s existing applications so that I could better understand
how to best utilize their existing technology to build a better application.
We created surveys to understand people who had ever tried to
learn guitar and had failed, or who had been successful. This
helped us to generate our user interview questions
USER INTERVIEWS
I conducted an analysis of home screens, lesson screens, and
onboarding from existing guitar applications as well as those
on kickstarter, about to hit the market.
Yamaha (Corp. of USA since
1960) is a huge supporter of
musicians and education.
Through technology, specifically
through applications such as
tenori-on they are crossing the
isle to inspire or reach those that
may not be previously musically
inclined or trained.
13. To ensure that we were doing the best to MVP our application
we took to the whiteboard. There were so many things we
COULD add to the application that weren’t neccessary.

16. General Assembly UXDI Project. Fordham Law School faces large Information
Architecture challenges, needs to address the needs of a varied audience, and needs to
feel connected to the larger University website. Redesign the IA and content strategy

Provide an improved user experience for

19. DESIGN STUDIO
PAPER PROTOTYPES
Lo-fi early paper prototypes
Many components were considered throughout the design
processes and I had to focus on the minimum viable product. The
user needed to be able to add courses to an existing calendar.
20. USER TESTING & ITERATIONS
I have illustrated changes made throughout the design iteration
process discovered in user testing.
The 6 call to action buttons were reduced to the four reminaing.
News artices and spotlight were reduced.
A check mark as well as wording was added to denote a required
course, rather than a course being automatically added to a course
schedule based on a students students focus and year in law school.
Favoriting a course for possible integration into your schedule, or
future scheduling was moved to “the future” of the application.
21. The prototype is a redesign of the Fordham Law School website. The
homescreen, as well as the user flow of how a current student can register
for classes. The prototype was built in Axure and sketch.
