Workshop: 8 Core Elements of User Experience Design for Mobile & Web Apps
Join us for our monthly Founders Floor Workshop Series where UX/UI design expert Pek Pongpaet, will share his years of experience designing for clients such as Google, Tesla, Groupon, Twilio, HP and others, by conducting a workshop that simplifies the mobile and web design user experience by going beyond tools and techniques, and providing real examples and illustrations to better understand the 8 core elements for user experience design. This workshop will provide you with actionable UX design tips that you can apply to your startup’s mobile app or web application.
The event starts with a networking reception where food and drinks will be provided.
User experience design is an integral component to the success of any early stage startup, playing a part in the early stages of achieving product-market fit, to high user growth, to lowering user acquisition costs.
When it comes to good design for mobile and web applications, one must consider what common attributes are shared amongst large app companies such as Facebook and Instagram. Just as each human being is composed of the same chemical elements, every good application contains the same user experience elements.
