For Design at Berkeley's GM #5, Daniel Starosta will be teaching us how to optimize UX Writing! Daniel Starosta has worked as a UX Writer for multiple companies and is now a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Berkeley.
He will be giving critiques on UX Writing so feel free to submit some examples to get your work critiqued! You can submit projects for verbal feedback during the GM at this link. Examples: anything that has writing in it, microcopy, portfolio website, etc. The critiques will be anonymous so don't be too nervous!!!
Join us on April 14th, 3:30 - 4:30 pm in the Makerspace in Doe library to learn about makerspace resources and customize a free library tote bag. We will be using the heat press, vinyl cutter and button makers, and you can learn how to translate sketches directly into vinyl sticker designs (and print them!) and use other neat tools in the Makerspace. Register and learn more about the event: tiny.cc/makerspace
