About This Event
Enhancing the experiences within the Black community consistently is a lifetime commitment. Redesigning a world where black people are seen, heard, and loved. Space-making is an iterative design process, and that it was UX design is about at its core. Making space for users by improving accessibility, usability, and desirability.

The user experience design process is generally divided into the following 5 phases: Define, User research, Synthesis, Design and Implement. All of which are phases that Black people subconsciously go through when working to eliminate barriers which excludes them from different facets of society.
