UX Pre-Study and Persona Development for SL
Introduction
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, creating exceptional user experiences is paramount. As a UX professional, I had the privilege of leading a comprehensive pre-study for SL, which involved conducting user interviews, constructing an impact map, mapping out user journeys, and crafting detailed personas.
