“Design is really an act of communication, which means having a deep understanding of the person with whom the designer is communicating.” Don Norman
User Experience design is a field that has shown rapid expansion in the past couple decades, yet it has existed for some time. UX does not just refer to websites and mobile applications, but also to your umbrella, pencil, and the chair you may be sitting on right now. Is it comfortable enough? Does it hurt your back? These are all questions a UX designer needs to ask them self when developing some type of product. While we will mainly focus on websites and mobile experiences during this course, know that the world of UX is a lot bigger than what you see on the screen.
