Basic User Experience Literacy Workshop

Saturday, September 15th from 12:00 - 4:00 pm

Tricia Okin, Designer & Founder, Papercut Design Studio 

This workshop will help you think through your current sites and projects from your users' perspectives by physically mapping out their concerns in space. First we'll review the various techniques to gather user research, then practice them in groups, organize the issues and plan execution. We'll cover the following methods:

  • Mind mapping
  • Paper prototyping
  • Narrowing down concepts to features and uses
  • Talking to your users (targeted and off the cuff prototyping)
  • Wireframing

This course is for people reviewing their current products who need to address user issues and/or geared towards people who are looking  to integrate these techniques into their organization. Students can expect to leave with basic paper prototyping skills, along with an understanding of commonly used tools and methodologies to help them translate paper to digital materials and deliverables.

Tricia Okin is a designer based in Brooklyn since 2001. She founded papercut design studio in 2004. Along with a wily band of contributors, Tricia designs and builds web and mobile sites/apps for companies within the food, green, and tech startup fields. She currently serves as an interactive product designer for BlogTalkRadio where she's redesigning and rebranding their interface to make DIY online radio easier and more fun. Tricia earned a BFA in photography from The University of Florida and an MFA from Parsons The New School for Design.
