Methodology
Students will explore the relationship among people, objects, and information through the field of interaction design. In a series of hands-on, studio-based, group exercises, students will gain exposure to critical parts of the design process while learning specific methods for human-centered concept exploration and the development of product behaviors.
Grading
Back in 2008, Irene founded the User Experience and Strategy department at Fantasy Interactive in New York, which recently she left in order to start up her own design studio.
Irene is extremely passionate about design and believes that great design is practical and human-centred at its core, and starts with breaking things down to its simplest form, the straightest line from A to B. Design can always be better, and rocking the boat is always the right thing to do.
