INFO 360: User-Centered Design

Project: Husky Health

Project Team: Derek Beaufrere, Angela Benintendi, Troy Fleischauer, Chris Mathews, Dustin Namdar

Like most of my classes in Informatics, the User Experience Design class was based around a quarter long team project. My team was assigned the task of designing a system that created an interface to demystify President Obama’s Health Care Act to the college student demographic.

The class instilled the concept of design thinking. I made many sketches, and participated in many brainstorming and ideation meetings. I created a user interface that the team expanded upon after doing research on user needs from a sample of students on the UW campus. Our deliverables included our Husky Health Specification document, a presentation, and a brief video about our design system solution.
