I found a lot of joy in a speculative project we did where we developed a future-based narrative and then designed something for it. The narrative was based on a prompt given to us by Helen. My prompt: \u201cA Bizarre Future Related to Surveillance.\u201d I wrote about a future where the government was slowly transforming all people into aquatic dolphin-like beings to better adapt to rising sea levels. They had put cameras everywhere and were watching us transform. I designed something like a Google Maps equivalent platform for underwater travel.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That was really fun but then we got to the meat of the semester. It was the deepest dive into real UX work I had ever done. Working with LAS was a complex and ultimately very rewarding project. We were working in a space that none of us really knew much about. Also because of the confidential nature surrounding\u00a0 analysts\u2019 work, there was a lot we weren\u2019t allowed to know either. This project gave me a ton of confidence to go into UX and product design job interviews and feel like I can really talk through the process comfortably. There is a lot to learn still but I am feeling much more confident than I did a year ago.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working with LAS was a complex and ultimately very rewarding project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":4759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-we-collab","entry-card--portrait"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p86O3z-1eK","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ready-to-transform-01.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4758"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4762,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4758\/revisions\/4762"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
