Government Services, Enterprise UX, Information Architecture, Complex Applications for Specialized Domains
Allana went above and beyond in our mentor sessions. Great advice and feedback!
Allana was amazing! I loved having my 1:1 sessions with her to go over some of the more complex topics such as junction objects and on my assignments' feedback. During these sessions and in our pod sessions, she helped answer my questions by modeling out the scenarios and also bringing in real world examples (i.e. YouTube playlists to explain junction objects). It was very helpful to talk aloud these examples and scenarios.
It was very comforting knowing that I could talk to Allana about OOUX in general and bounce ideas back and forth in a safe space. I was doing my own challenge (so the next question I'm answering wrong no matter what LOL) and I know that it took a lot of extra OOUX mind-bending in order to do this, I am very grateful to her for her help!
I really enjoyed working with Allana! She's a friendly and kind OOUX strategist.
I’ve listened to the OOUX podcast since the start, but never thought about getting certified. Then, when I started my first UX position it became clear that I needed a way to quickly get up to speed and smoke out complexity on complex domains (accounting, government, cyber security, and genomic science to date!). Even during the cohort I’ve been able to apply what I’m learning, scale ORCA to my project time frames, and the ORCA toolkit has given me the confidence to take on complex projects at the drop of a hat. I took the plunge to pay for the OOUX strategist certification program out of pocket because it seemed like it would give me systematic tools to wrangle complexity and abstract ideas into logical building blocks – and it has!
This rigorous course is for UX designers, developers, and digital product people who are tackling complexity, wrangling stakeholders, and trying to make systems-level change.
