Teaching at Philly U

Graduate Level: Digital Experience Design

Digital Experience Design is a 16 week graduate level course at Philadelphia University that combines graphic design, user experience design, and front end development to holistically improve a product.

When approached with the ability to design my own syllabus from the ground up I was super excited to share everything that makes me passionate about good design.

My curriculum covered...

• Infographics - A lesson in research, prioritization, and proximity
• Taxonomy/IA - Mapping complex applications
• Wireframing & Paper Prototyping - Getting user feedback early and often
• UI Standardization - UI inventory/developing a design pattern library
• Coding & Implementation - Using HTML/CSS/Jquery to make a prototype
• Team Organization - Utilizing SUMs, Trello, and other collaboration tools
