Design Assistants will be trained in all phases of the Contextual Design process, including field interviews with end users, data interpretation, work modeling and consolidation, visioning, storyboarding, system design, paper prototyping and final visual design. They will use these skills to provide extra hands to the team and support creating deliverables.
