The Humber Advantage
Broadly, UX is the practice of designing digital products, including websites, software, apps, smart devices, voice interfaces and other technology interfaces.
UX Design focuses not only on how things look, but also on how things work. UX Design is a human-centered discipline, based on meeting the needs of the end users of a product. Some of the goals of UX are to remove frustrations and barriers to technology, and simplify our interactions with systems. UX Designers create technology products that are user-friendly, enjoyable, and meaningful; and ultimately develop solutions that drive social change.

Program Area of Focus
Design is a practice that appeals to the head, heart and hand; blending critical thinking, empathy for end users, and hands-on design skills. The program offers a mix of theory and practice from these 3 key focus areas:
Ideation and Design Strategy
Students engage in a variety of high-level requirements gathering and ideation sessions early in the design process to help identify and find problems to be solved. Student develop the skills to prioritize, identify risk and critically assess the quality of product concepts, collaborating with peers and stakeholders to create strategic directions for products and services that benefit both clients and users.
Related activities and skills:
- Requirements gathering
- Competitive and product review
- Brainstorming and ideation techniques
- Content and feature inventories
- Journey maps
- Service blueprints
- Strategic plans
Design Research
In order to design a product that meets user needs, you need to understand who that user is. Research is an integral part of design process, helping you empathize with end-users.
Students will engage in both informal and formal research methods, both on campus and in the field. Students will have the opportunity to engage in usability testing of their design work, iterating their designs and fine-tuning their work to improve the quality and impact of their designs.
Related activities and skills:
- Interviews
- Surveys
- Social media monitoring
- Focus groups
- Contextual observation
- Secondary research
- Usability testing (including eye-tracking)
- Research planning, analysis and reporting
- User profiles, personas and requirements
Design Practice
Students will be immersed in design practice, transforming their analysis of the research and design strategy into wireframes, prototypes and design specifications for digital products and services.
Our focus is on prototyping and iterating design work based on user research. Students are encouraged to be creative and explore multiple options for design solutions, adopting the “fail forward” model used within the design industry.
The program encourages collaboration with peers both within the program and from other Humber programs, encouraging students to build soft skills that are essential to modern design careers.
Related activities and skills:
- Wireframing
- Prototyping
- User flow mapping
- Creative strategy
- User interface design / graphic design
The Usability Lab is a full-fledged usability testing facility where researchers can capture & assess the interaction between users and designs.
This Usability Lab is purposefully built for usability studies to ensure that the research environment does not interfere with the testing. Designed with flexibility at its core, it has been equipped with a broad variety of technology, supporting usability testing at many different levels of sophistication.
Our students can participate in and lead experiments that will evaluate the designs they have developed, to make sure their work meets the needs of the target audience.
Humber’s Faculty of Media & Creative Arts encourages students to expand their academic experience through a variety of study abroad opportunities, including semester exchanges, summer programs, and international work placements.

Bianca DiPietro
Bianca DiPietro was born to be a designer, raised in a creative environment by a mother who was both a traditional illustrator and a teacher at Sheridan College. As a young adult, Bianca followed her destiny and entered the Graphic Design program through York/Sheridan, graduating summa cum laude with an honours bachelor degree in 2009. After graduating, Bianca decided to continue her education and enrolled in the Master of Design program at York University, basing her thesis on the arbitrary relationship between letterforms and their associated sounds in the English language. During her master's studies, she was also involved in a groundbreaking research project that involved end-user-focused testing with look-alike medication labels using simple typographic cues (eg. bold type or all capital letters) as the only differentiator.
Upon completing her master's, Bianca found a job in editorial design at a nationally distributed health magazine. She later moved on to a senior role at a division of Yellow Pages, leading a team of six designers on a variety of creative assignments. As design technologies evolved, Bianca found herself back at school part time learning HTML, CSS, Javascript and JQuery. With these web capabilities in her toolbox, Bianca secured a senior web designer position at a boutique agency in Hamilton; it was here she also expanded her horizons into Wordpress, social media and SEO/SEM. Since 2009, Bianca has also run her own business as a freelance designer.
In 2014, Bianca returned to her roots and began teaching courses in typography, communication design and more as a contracted instructor at George Brown College and Sheridan College. As a young teacher, Bianca has been especially successful at not only connecting with students as an educator but as a contemporary who better understands their cultural wavelength. The complementary acts of teaching and learning have helped Bianca realize that teaching is her greatest passion, and to share her enthusiasm for design with others is among life’s most rewarding experiences.
Bianca loves collaborating with creative individuals and teams to develop sustainable design solutions for all kinds of challenges and problems. She has deep expertise in design-thinking process, including research and prototyping, as well as strategic thinking, critical thinking, systems thinking and storytelling through design.

Yvonne Shek
As a User Experience (UX) practitioner with over 25 years experience in the field, I’m excited to bring my passion and experience to my new role at Humber College.
My own journey in UX started at the University of Toronto, where I majored in cognitive psychology and minored in anthropology and industrial engineering. My interests led me to pursue a master's degree at the University College London in ergonomics.
Since then, I’ve worked at the Department of National Defence in human factors research, media and design agencies, consulting firms, and started my own UX consulting firm in 2013. I’ve completed hundreds of client projects. The industries I’ve worked in span real estate, food and hospitality, government, financial institutions, retail, telecommunications, education, healthcare, automotive, entertainment, non-profit, and others. I enjoy public speaking and have spoken at CanUX, The IA Summit, Euro IA, and the UPA.
My personal areas of interest include UX research, service design, design for the greater good, continuous improvement, personal growth, upstream thinking, decision making, and problem solving. My vision for my students intersects my areas of interest--exactly. My goal is to help coach the next generation of design thinkers to solve wicked, complex, and seemingly impossible problems.
Your Career
Graduates of this program will find work as user experience (UX) designers, UI designers, design thinkers, information architects, and design researchers in fields including retail service, brand experience, social service interactions, health-care provision, travel and hospitality, financial services, safety and security, entertainment, and leisure.
