The COMD Department is hosting Mike D’Andrea, Lead UX Researcher at Google this Thursday after our class. This is both a recommended opportunity to learn from a professional in a tangentially related field (UX or User Experience) and a great event to earn some extra credit in our class by attending and writing a 250-word memo about what you learn there. Details are below.

Dear City Tech Community,

Join the Department of Communication Design (COMD) this Thursday, October 20th at 6:30pm in Room 117 of the Pearl building for a lecture by Google UX researcher Mike D’Andrea.

Learn what User Experience research is and what it takes to become a researcher in this field. In his lecture, Mike will speak about his background, job role and responsibilities, and share some tips on starting and thriving in a UX research career.

Mike has been a UX researcher at Google for nearly a decade and has worked across several teams while there. 

The COMD department is very excited to be hosting him at the College!
