UX

Every spring, I take on a continuing education program. This year I wanted to learn about UX design so I enrolled in the Google UX Design Professional Certificate course with Coursera.

I am interested in integrating what I learn about UX design into different projects I am currently involved in. As someone trained in ethics, I am also curious to examine what role ethics could play in the process of UX design.
