My Role

I am one of the two UX deisgners in this project. Our group named “The Fighting T-Rexes” and we did 3 times of iterations of the usability testing, and I was responsible for the 1st iteration, the Ineer Group Audit. My job was to analyze the website and define problems from a UX designer’s perspective.
