Class critique & workshopping: what makes sense? What questions do we have?
Prototypes: low-fi vs hi-fi. What's a prototype good for?
Homework for Monday: Low-fi prototype. Pick one approach, sketch out a full set of user actions. (eg: start up, configuration, use over time/space, etc.) These should be wireframes. Can be hand-drawn, figma, whatever works for you. Put them in figma and prototype.

DUE Monday 2/3: Your prototype in Figma, embedded on your website.

ALSO DUE Monday 2/3: A new text! Watch this video on design systems. Write and post your response on your site.
