Q&A Info Session

What's the difference between the student projects you do in a bootcamp, and the "real" work you're doing everyday as professional UX Designer? As a professional designer, you're expected to think about how your solutions impact your users and business. In most cases, this is the skill that most new designers are missing when breaking into a UX career. In this workshop, I'll show examples of what that difference looks like, and how you can start thinking like a pro designer.

Mine were. 20 years ago, websites and apps looked a lot different. For the most part, the interactions were pretty simple and static. Click a link --&gt; go to a new screen. Modern apps and websites are dynamic. They’re packed with animations, movement, micro-interactions, and transitions to create a smooth, seamless experience.
