Mr. Saibal Datta is a UX Designer. He is a Design Manager at Adobe India, and now runs his own company named Gaia Digital Design as a Design Entrepreneur.
In his two hour session, he tried to connect us students to UX and familiarised us with different aspects of UX design which is an integration of technology, business and design, which covers sociology, psychology, graphics, industrial design & cognitive science. He conducted a very effective activity to help us identify what role do we want to play in the design process, i.e.:
- explorers discover
- artists design
- scientists develop/prototype
- warriors deliver
Now the question is, what are you? And how to train yourself to be the other remaining 3.
What we take away from his experience and sharing is,
- have passion for craft
- be curios about people and technology
- find the ability to learn quickly
- have a detail oriented nature
- have a receptive approach toward feedback (willingness to accept constructive criticism & act on it)
All these ingredients are essential to be an effective UX Designer.
