UX East

Price: $35.00 /per person

To make ideas happen, you must communicate with many stakeholders: users, fellow designers, clients & collaborators, and engineers. Sketching alone or together is a great way to rapidly generate and give shape to your ideas.

Sketching is deceptively simple. It requires nothing more than a Sharpie and some paper. And yet, unless youre a trained artist or chronic doodler, it can seem daunting. Many folks insist that they can’t draw. And a blank page is the most intimidating of things—where to begin?

This workshop will teach you techniques that will enable you to visually represent your ideas so you can share them with others—and make them a reality!
