User-centered Design

This is a presentation from NFTE Launch Camp, a week-long program to teach high school kids the fundamentals of creating a mobile app business. My session focused on the fundamentals of user experience in mobile app design, and was followed by an exercise where the students created a persona and scenario for their own app.
