UC San Diego aims to be a leader for that ecosystem, to help drive social and economic prosperity.
Unfortunately, there's not enough resources that the campus can offer for all ideas.
It's time for the scholars of our school to give a helping hand.
We created Fi with the goal of delivering user-centered design solutions to projects occurring across campus.
We're a group of interdisciplinary students, who believe our methods and design practices will help ideas from UCSD succeed.
With leadership, collaboration, and strong morale, we're destined to meeting this goal, one idea at a time.
Our first ongoing project focuses on improving UC San Diego Library's website for accessibility and clear usage.
We're surrounded by a network of fellow students, entrepreneurs, and mentors in the innovation community in San Diego.
We're disrupting how students collaborate with their community. We encourage you to join us in our movement.
Fi sticks to a philosophy that ensures successful collaboration with every client we contact and every project we lay hands on.
This philosophy stretches across several disciplines of design, including design heuristics, the user-based feedback loop, and lean startup strategies.
Every step of the way involves the client or the stakeholders involved with the project. We use their expertise in the project domain with our practices in UX design.
We talk to our client's users, too. They're the group we're primarily designing for, so we ensure to keep their feedback in mind when we perform interviews, focus groups, and prototype testing.
Each idea is different in its own domain. We understand that, and use our collaborative thinking to be creative with each new project.
Design choices are hard to follow. We make it easier with our documented process through each project, and explain viability to our clients in the easiest ways possible.
With stakeholders in mind, we maintain brand recognition while bringing new looks and faces to their products and services.
We're open to sharing our results with our client's existing teams or platforms to get a new MVP up and running.
There's several roles you can play in growing Fi.
