1 3: Leverage design principles to create the best experience for your users – Angélique Bélizaire (Product Designer) 53:57
Have you ever heard the quote “If you build it, they will come.” from the movie Field of Dreams ? That might have worked at the time that it was released, but in today’s economy that phrase speaks more to the dreamer than the successful person in technology. Why?

To meet this shift in consumer behavior, companies are putting an increase focused on the consumer or user experience. This translates to understanding what problems users have, and building solutions that not only solve that problem, but also designing it in a way that is easy, useful, and intuitive to the end-user. That’s where product designer Angélique Bélizaire, steps in as she leverages her passion in design to help companies build online products, websites, and features that potential customers will actually use (and enjoy themselves while doing it)!
