When I completed Google's UX Design course, I initially thought there was only one way to approach the design thinking process. 👩💻 However, as time went on i discovered that there are many frameworks for design thinking, and it's important to note that there is no wrong one. As a junior UX, i don't just settle for one, i try to understand how each framework adds its own touch to problem-solving and user-centric design. Always take your time to choose the best framework for your project. #DoubleDiamond #LeanUX #IDEOMethod #StanfordDesignThinking #IBMDesignThinking #Zurbdesignthinking

Leveled up my UX skills! ✨ Just finished the "Start the UX Design Process: Empathize, Define, and Ideate" course from Google's UX Design Certificate. While I'm a hands-on learner at heart (theory isn't always my jam!), this course provided a crucial foundation. Now I understand the first 3 steps of the UX design process: empathize, define, and ideate. We dove deep into the tools, methods, and steps to tackle each stage efficiently – think empathy maps, user journeys, and ideation techniques. Plus, we explored different types of artifacts and their role in crafting user-centered designs. Learning about the psychology behind UX design was fascinating – it's not just about making things pretty, there's a whole science to it! This course gave me a real sense of what UX designers actually do – there's a lot more to it than just jumping into the design phase! ✍️ Feeling motivated and already onto the 3rd course! #GoogleUX #UXDesign #DesignThinking #Wireframing #Prototyping
Thrilled to complete the Foundations of UX Design course on Coursera by Google! This course provided a fantastic introduction to the core principles of UX design, including user research, information architecture, interaction design, and prototyping. I'm especially interested in how design sprints can be used to rapidly iterate and validate ideas. The course ignited my passion for this field, and I'm eager to apply this newfound knowledge to personal projects and explore how UX design can make a positive impact. #UI/UX #UXDesign #Coursera #Google
