eChai UX Mornings @ AllEvents HQ - Week 3. June 2015.

Apart from our weekly #CoRise programs at VentureStudio, now on wards we will be hosting another weekly program - eChai UX Mornings - on every Saturday morning in Ahmedabad.

To create the greater user experiences about your products/service you need to understand the user needs, what are they looking for, why they are there, and how to engage them where you want them to be and also understanding the genesis of why are you creating a particular product or service.

According to an answer from Quora, UX design deals with the overall experience associated with the use of a product or service. UI design deals with the specific user interface(s) of a product or service. The UI can be a component of UX, but many user experiences don’t have UIs. The design of a UI will be heavily informed by the UX design. The UX design will be less informed by the UI.

Format of weekly eChai UX Mornings @ AllEvents HQ :

The eChai UX Mornings will provide an opportunity to entrepreneurs, professionals, and students interested in understanding more about UI/UX to learn from experienced UX professionals and have an interactive dialogue.
