We’ll be walking through the steps of the Design Thinking Process in each Exercise of the course to create a researched and tested set of mobile app designs for your portfolio.

Understanding the User
Through user research and analysis, you’ll create user personas and a user journey map as well as conduct a thorough task analysis for your product. Lastly, you’ll define an actionable mobile strategy for your product.

To successfully illustrate the technical articulation of your product’s information architecture, you’ll create a visually appealing and portfolio-ready site map. You’ll also begin prototyping your product.

It’s time to put your design to the (usability) test. Here, you’ll conduct usability testing for both mobile and desktop from start to finish, working with test subjects, analyzing test results, making improvements, and planning future tests.
Refining the Design
Here, you’ll explore the foundations of visual design, experiment with responsive frameworks, and ready your design documentation for dev handoff.
End-to-End Design
