My experience with the Google UX Certificate Course 2 of 7: Empathize, Define, and Ideate

UX design Google Certificate Course 2

As promised in the previous article 👍, I’ve been continuing my Google UX Design Professional Certificate path, and on this article, I’ll be covering some relevant topics/notes for Course 2 (Start the UX Design Process: Empathize, Define, and Ideate), and to be honest, please keep in mind I do my best to condensed all topics for 5 weeks in this lecture, but in 5 weeks I discovered some existing and new topics about the UX processes that need to be shared to all interested in learning more about Google UX Methodologies, no matter is your complete beginner or experienced designer, so again please take your time to read.

This 2nd course broken into 5 weeks in total and covering research topics, common research tools, research frameworks, and platforms used in UX design, with the main goal to developing the first project for our portfolio and of course understand how empathy is the key to creating exceptional experiences for our potential users.

Ok, so what UX design skills can we expect to develop and learn during this 2nd course? Here are my experience and general notes:
