Through Turi McKinley’s course “Learning Design Thinking: Lead Change in Your Organization” I was able to get a better understanding of how to adopt and lead a user-centered design thinking approach to drive meaningful innovation. The importance of creating spaces that garner creativity and making complex ideas tangible through visualization is necessary when driving innovation. The course highlighted the value of leadership in aligning teams, managing creative flow, and setting shared goals to guide collaboration effectively. Tools like journey mapping, hypothesis generation, and service blueprints stood out as practical methods to translate ideas into actionable solutions as well. Additionally, I gained an appreciation for prototyping as a powerful way to refine concepts and noticed how spreading design thinking as a cultural mindset can really change organizations. This experience deepened my appreciation for the importance of active leadership, structured creativity, and iterative learning in creating lasting change.

Certificate

The goal of this project was to create a website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap utilizing knowledge learned from the course as well as AI-assisted coding. This project allowed me to start a project from scratch on my own, create folders and files to correspond with the project, and build multiple pages that interact with each other. It was a well-rounded project that allowed me to work with simple HTML that was learned in the beginning of the course, like using headers and <p></p> tags to add in text, as well as build a calculator, include image references, and link the pages together to create something interactive and creative. Towards the end, I had some fun with using AI-assisted coding to include code to color each pages a different pastel color that made the website more aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching. Overall, I learned a lot from doing this project and was able to tie in various course concepts along the way.

The AWS Academy Cloud Foundations certification is a comprehensive program designed to introduce learners to the core concepts of cloud computing and AWS services. I completed this certification as part of my MIS 3406 Cloud Architecture course, where I gained hands-on experience with key AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, and more. AWS Academy provided a robust understanding of cloud infrastructure, security, and architecture best practices. This certification enhanced my technical skills in cloud computing and demonstrated my ability to work with AWS tools and services for cloud-based projects.

Cosmic Escapes

The project I decided to work on, is called “Cosmic Escapes”. Cosmic Escapes is a fictional website that allows you to travel to different planets, as well as different galaxies and explore and enjoy the experience. Not only does it offer transportation to those planets, but it has pre-built luxury hotels, living spaces and amenities. It also has an option to calculate the total cost for your stay. Working on this project taught me a lot about implementing good looking designs and CSS, as well as using Javascript to give the user a smooth experience without any errors or issues.
