User Experience (UX), have you considered what this phrase means? The end-user of any web application will no doubt have a positive or negative feeling about their experience. A statement once made by award-winning author, Maya Angelou pointed out how you can forget what people say or do to you but you will never forget how something made you feel. This is an important factor any UX professional must consider. After devoting years into creating effective UX experiences, a vision and plan is ready to be launched.
This mission kicks off with EVE, an upcoming UX Agency which stands for Effective Virtual Experiences. The agency is founded by, Detroit native Eve Eden, who is a Wayne State University Alum with over 12 years experience in the design and tech industry. Eden is passionate about design and giving back to her hometown. Her goal is to create more opportunities for local businesses through user-centric designs, and encouraging women to excel in the tech industry.
Currently women in tech fields is scarce, particularly in math and computer science. The tech industry is statistically dominated by men. In the latest annual data reported by the United States Department of Labor, 57% of women participate in the labor force. Only 26% of women however, are in computer and mathematical occupations.
