experience design is A revolutionary way of designing focused on the experience of the audience
It is a design methodology in which the final product is the experience of the user or the audience rather than the thing that is created. It has the power to transform any art or design practice that involves humans.
from the organization that has been at the forefront of experience design for over two decades
The Odyssey Works Foundation is led by Abraham Burickson and Ayden LeRoux, along with esteemed Board Members Christopher Lin and Lea Redmond — together, are dedicated to shaping the future of experience design.
Committed to assisting students and artists in receiving accessible, personalized education, mentorship, feedback, and community building through the Experience Design Certificate Program.
