Blurring the Lines between Branding and User Experience (UX) Design

We often think of a ‘brand’ as few key visual assets - a logo, color scheme, and style. In reality, a ‘brand’ is so much more. A ‘brand’ encompasses both visual assets and the consumers’ perception of a product or service.

With so much of brand to consumer interactions happening online, the distance between branding and user experience design is rapidly decreasing.

So, how does a brand intentionally surface its values within digital experiences? How can UX practices and principles help inform brand strategy? How can a brand stand out by doubling down on UX? Join us as we dive into the world of branding and how it’s being shaped by digital user experiences.

Why It Matters: Design is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. It affects our morning commute, how we experience websites and apps, and how we communicate with each other. Gaining a better understanding of this universal force will help you see the world and your projects through a fascinating new lens.
