Very Special Guests
Before we get started, we want to introduce two guests joining us for our check-ins today:
Hannah
Hannah Farnham is a multidisciplinary designer based in NYC. She is currently a freelance designer for Zaelab, a digital commerce agency. In May, she graduated from Parsons with a Master’s in Communication Design, and previously worked for Trellis as a UI/UX Design Lead.
Hannah combines design, art, and technology to craft thoughtful experiences across mediums. While UI/UX is her specialty, she integrates branding, motion, coding, and illustration to inspire and produce bespoke solutions.
Devansh
Devansh Khajanchi is a digital product designer based in New York, currently the Head of Design at Noise Labs–a platform that lets users trade ‘trends’. He holds a Masters degree in Communication Design from Parsons School of Design and a Bachelors from the National Institute of Design, majoring in Exhibition Design.
Devansh’s practice is rooted in accessibility, clarity, and design that bridges the physical and digital to create meaningful experiences for users.
Extra Credit?
For anyone worried about their grades, we will be offering an extra-credit opportunity. We don’t want this to interfere with your final projects (which are worth much more) though, so you’ll hear about it

Next class—in two weeks, after the holiday—you’ll be presenting your final projects! Let’s go through the format:

The plan:
-
Same general idea as last week—but we’re going to try and go faster to see more people/get more opinions/imbue chaos
-
So we’re going to shoot for around
5 minutes with each of you 😵💫 -
So we’ll each see a whole group, move to the next group in the room, then take a short break—then switch rooms
-
When you don’t have an instructor with you, you’ll have one of our special guests! They’ve been where you have been!
-
Have your work up on your laptop, this time
-
This is definitely a
Big Picture status-check, with an overall focus on cohesion/progress—save specifics for Slack -
Be ready to take notes! In your notebook or on your phone, since we’ll have your laptop
-
Feedback for one is
usually feedback for all; let’s be actively listening to each turn
For Next Week Class
-
You will be finishing your
Binding projects:Project Nº 3: Finalize Your “Book” and Presentation
You’ve got two weeks! We want to see the
refinement ! -
It might be helpful to revisit our previous overall notes, and your own individual feedback that we’ve shared in Slack. Think about what you can focus on to improve.
For many of you in the last project—it was your presentation itself; for others, it was systematizing/tidying your code. We’re always looking for improvement, especially if we’ve called it out!
-
And then prepare to present your work on December 5:
That’s it! We’re really excited to see where you take these, and we’ve all come a long way.
