UX Design Brainstorm LIVE: Designing Within Ambiguity- LA Design Festival
As a designer, encountering ambiguous situations can be overwhelming when the outcome is unclear, especially during a pandemic. That being said, defining the problem space and maneuvering through these situations while taking cues from your users is critical.
Join UX Designer and Founder Rachel Smith as she hosts the virtual brainstorming session “Designing within Ambiguity”. We will walk through pain points, themes, and main call outs to look out for when designing in ambiguous situations. You will also learn how Design to Combat COVID-19 grew 2000+ global volunteers and helped to solve broken supply chain issues, delivering over 100k pieces of personal protective equipment to doctors and nurses worldwide through the power of design thinking.
Design to Combat COVID-19 is a virtual community of over 2000+ who want to remotely volunteer their skills. We’re here to move fast, and help create innovative solutions to support others affected by the pandemic. We’re not asking for permission, we’re here to fix broken systems.
