Who am I?
Hi! I am Brandon Camerer, a Senior UX Designer for CloudFit Software. Below is a “Tech Talk” of who I am and what I do for CloudFit! This video will cover some of the basic tools and concepts we will be using to design our software application.
Fundamentals of UX Design

Choosing or creating a design system
Choosing a design system, the beginnings of a great app! There are a bunch of design systems out there, they all have strengths and weaknesses, watch this YouTube video on an intro to them.
Example Design Systems
MUI (CloudFit’s Main)
**UX Collaboration (IMO, The most important thing)**
UX has a unique ability to visually get everyone on the same page. We have done this through “Live Design Session” These sessions get everyone together and design in real time solutions. This eliminates the “telephone game” which causes frustration and delay.
