UX WRITING CHALLENGE
I signed up for the Daily UX Writing Challenge to keep my writing skills sharp. UX writing prompts landed in my inbox and I came up with solutions to each. It was a great opportunity to practice writing for a variety of real-life situations and exercise problem-solving skills. I also created and designed all templates to better visualize and understand the relationship between UI and copy.
