8. Intro to User Experience Design

Key Learning Points:

• The International Standardisation Organisation defines user experience as “a person’s perceptions and responses that result from the use and anticipated use of a product, system or service.” 
• UX is so important that you shouldn’t put it on the shoulders of just the designer
• The main thing about UX design is that it’s USER experience, NOT YOUR experience
• A good UX designer considers the technical feasibility of a design and understands engineering concepts
• UX designers question founders and Product Managers and conduct usability studies and user interviews
