User journey mapping is the first crucial step on designing user experience (UX). With this UX mapped out, wireframing can be used to engage the user. It is a useful part of the design process. Throughout a website or mobile app project, you will have a lot of ideas and the best way to sort through those ideas is to brainstorm. Wireframes are a visual artifact of brainstorming, and the goal is to make them with minimal effort, as to encourage ideation.

Who Should Attend

Whether you’re a designer or not, user journey mapping and wireframing are important skills to have in your toolkit. Wireframes are a valuable tool for visualizing user experiences, iterating on ideas, and sharing ideas with others for young and intermediate designers who are eager to prototype.

What You’ll Learn

In this workshop, you will learn how to

·       How to sketch up a user journey map,

·       Create hand drawn wireframes,

·       Create wireframes on a computer,

·       Iterate through ideas, visually, and

·       Use wireframes to validate (or invalidate) assumptions and ideas
