What is UX design?

Designing great productsis more than aesthetics.

It’s everything else that’s the difficult part.

UX != UI

Why have a process?

Technically, You Don’t.

But, that’s not a good idea.

Digital productsare expensiveinvestments.

So, what’s it look like?

• It depends on the project

• No single way

• Tailored process

• Iterative steps

This is the most important phase.

• Long-term vision

• Measure of success
