Guest lecturer for INFO 498 A Summer 2023: Design Systems for Digital Experiences.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
A unified design system is an essential tool for building cohesive user experience across web, mobile, and offline, embodying usability and accessibility best practices while projecting the branding of the organization it serves. Industry leaders such as Google and Airbnb have recently developed comprehensive design systems and principles for efficiently managing design and interaction consistency across a vast array of digital products, online web properties, and offline visual communications.
This course equips students with industry-standard practices for understanding, developing, and implementing design systems for digital environments and experiences. Students will have hands-on project-based activities to research and analyze existing branding and usage contexts, develop principles and components, and apply them to real-world scenarios to test the robustness of their designs.
