What UX is really about: Introducing a mindset for great experiences

UX Unite

E-meet Celia Hodent and hear her story behind the book 'What UX Is Really About: Introducing a Mindset for Great Experiences'

The main objective of What UX is Really About is to provide a quick introduction to user experience (UX 101) for students, professionals, or simply curious readers who want to understand this trendy yet commonly misunderstood practice better but who don&#x27;t have the time to dive deeply into it. The reader will learn that UX is much more than a set of techniques, guidelines, and tools. It&#x27;s a mindset; a philosophy that consists of taking the perspective of the humans that will use a product. It&#x27;s about solving their problems, offering them a pleasurable experience, and building a win-win and long-lasting relationship between them and the company developing the product. Above all, it&#x27;s about improving people&#x27;s lives with technology.Use these links to watch the webinar on the day: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZElfumoqjstH9FvJu059NcaY_Zo1EeKyBPk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZElfumoqjstH9FvJu059NcaY_Zo1EeKyBPk</a><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwpc-GqpzIpHdenzFCzrxl58Ptt222AYmhC" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Or join us through our Facebook Live stream here<a href="https://www.facebook.com/CPHUXofficial/videos/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/CPHUXofficial/videos/</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CPHUXofficial/videos/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82261904637" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>AGENDA- Presentation of CPHUX and format- UX Passion Talk by Celia Hodent- Q&amp;A with Celia HodentSLIDO: You can use the app slido to ask and upvote questions for the speaker.
