About This Workshop
Often considered design’s unicorn skill, UX writing is the art of designing with words to engage users as they navigate apps and digital products. Good copy enables users to have optimal interactions with the products, thereby elevating the user experience.

As products go global, there is a greater focus on designing an inclusive and accessible product for anyone and everyone. Gain an understanding of why localisation matters, why we should design for all use cases and how empathy can be applied to content design.

Whether you’re new to the world of UX or a seasoned designer, this workshop will help provide a good overview of this essential skill.
