SUMMARY:Why You Should Launch Your NEW Career in UX/UI Design: Film Screening!
DESCRIPTION:Apple’s Secret Weapon\nWe all know Apple\, Coca-Cola\, and Starbucks as successful billion dollar companies. But what you may not know is that they share something important in common: they are all driven by a focus on great design!\nAs more and more research has emerged showing that design-driven companies sell more products and have greater customer loyalty\, there’s been 1) huge growth in the UX/UI Design industry AND 2) increased demand for UX/UI designers!\nBut what exactly is UX Design?\nUX Design (short for User Experience Design) is the process of creating products that are built around the end-user’s needs. The idea is that if you create a product that solves real pain points and is easy and pleasureable for a customer to use\, then he or she will want to use it! Instead of creating a product– like an app– around your own ideas\, you build one that your ideal customer will love!\nThis kind of design process is what makes companies like UBER so successful: they built an app that addresses a real pain point\, has an easy-to-use interface\, and provides a pleasurable experience for both riders and drivers.\nSound awesome? We think so\, too!\nSo\, on Saturday\, February 25th and Tuesday\, February 28th\, we are hosting a carefully curated event dedicated to helping YOU break into the UX Design field!\nThe Event\nInstantly get your foot in the door. You will have the opportunity to meet young Miami professionals in our collaborative tech space\, get an exclusive look at the Design Disruptors documentary\, and discover how to break into the growing professional field of UX/UI Design. No previous experience required!\nFor a look at the Design Disruptors trailer\, check out this link here.\n \nThe Agenda:\n tRegistration + Networking\n tOverview of UX/UI Design\n tDesign Disruptors film screening\n tQ&A with UX/UI Professionals\n tHow YOU can break into the field\nTo attend\, you must purchase a $10 ticket on our Eventbrite page:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/why-you-should-launch-your-new-career-in-uxui-design-film-screening-tickets-31996074119\nWe hope to see you there!\nFor questions about the event\, please contact marisa@ironhack.com
