UX studio, milestone system
Executive Summary
A milestone-based studio architecture that simulates product lifecycle thinking through research, modeling, validation, and prototyping.
Learning architecture
A studio structured as a product simulation
Most design studios operate through iterative cycles of research, testing, and refinement. This studio applies that same logic to learning, structuring the course as a product development simulation where each phase must be validated before the next begins.
Research
Defining users and problems through structured research
Students conduct audience research and frame design problems before any structural or interface work begins. Research drives all downstream decisions.
Structure
Translating research into structured systems
Students build information architecture diagrams and user flows that translate research insights into navigational and interaction structures.
Testing & Iteration
Validating ideas through structured testing cycles
Students prototype early experiences and test with real users before committing to final interface design. Iteration is required, not optional.
User Interface & Prototyping
Designing interfaces grounded in research and testing
Students develop final interface screens and interactive prototypes that reflect the full arc of their research, with every visual decision traceable back to a user insight or a testing result.
