Design Thinking, UX and Branding
Good design isn’t just about the aesthetics; it’s about the overall user experience (UX design). Your brand is more than your logo, website, or location. It’s the entire experience that your company, product or service has with your prospects and customers. User experience design also involves a great user interface (UI), understanding of the customer’s journey and much more.
