Ellucian Live 2019 and Degree Works™ Forum April (5 - 10)

Hosted a series of product design workshops spread over 3 days. These workshops were based on how we evolve  product design from a conceptual stage to a fully functional product for launch.

I facilitated the workshops starting with a brief presentation to highlight the design system at Ellucian that drives product experience and user research data and analytics. Followed by hands on ideation and requirement mapping with the participants on different tracks of the product.
