Course Testimonials

"The class that I enjoyed the most was Intro to UXD, which was a week-long design sprint, with our three wonderful professors as mentors for our week-long intensive project. The class taught me how to do a design sprint in an agile environment. Furthermore, it introduced me to the whole design process starting from user research, conceptualization, to final prototyping and testing; and how to execute it in just a week." (May 2019)
