Introduction to Service Design
Review: Monday, May 11th
Juniors and seniors looked beyond the product experience and widened their view to an end-to-end service experience. In the first project students audited the university library service, and redesigned 3 touchpoints. In the second project, students researched, conceptualized, and defined a new service before designing one of the touchpoints.
