Product Design Studio

(3 Credits)

This introductory design studio will guide students through the digital product design process, mimicking industry practice: user research, ideation, visual design, prototyping, user testing, interaction design, and creating final mock-ups and presentations. Classes will introduce various tools and techniques of the trade, and provide smaller individual exercises for practice while culminating in a semester-long team project. Students will be expected not only to get hands-on in Figma creating designs, but also engaging in design critique sessions to help train their visual and interaction design craft. Ideal for aspiring product designers and entrepreneurs seeking to create early mock-ups, it also benefits students interested in understanding the design process for roles like product managers or software developers. | Prerequisites: Graduate Standing
