CreateApe is excited to announce that our founder, Alessandro Fard, will be holding a Mobile Design Workshop in Los Angeles this Wednesday May 23rd from 6-8:30 pm at the WeWork Playa Vista.

- Learning storyboarding and user scenarios.
- User testing of paper prototypes using Rapid Iterative Testing and Evaluation (RITE).
- Practical application of mobile design patterns

Participants will walk away with:
- Best design strategy for iOS, Android and Web.
- Understanding the essentials: Reinventing your interface with an agile and responsive approach.
- Document use cases and personas in context using storyboards.
- Selecting the right design pattern for interfaces to drive desired user experience.
- Design usable and effective mobile forms and workflows.
With over fifteen-years experience in the web industry, Alessandro has worked directly with awesome companies like American Express, Best Buy, and Facebook. His work has been featured in VentureBeat, TechCrunch50, Newsweek, and his article “The UX University of Life” was featured in UX Magazine.
As a lifelong learner, Alessandro believes his everyday experiences can be leveraged as a part of an ongoing UX education. Great UX is something everyone can learn and achieve.
