Design fundamentals

The role of a designer

The role of a designer is to solve interaction, information and functional problems - not just visual ones. That's why these design fundamentals begin with user experience, not interface design. This is a starter kit for anyone that wants to understand the design process behind WorkSafe's websites, the digital service standard, personas and archetypes, user journeys and design vision.
