In 2017, experience platform Kudoz won the UX for Good award, as well as the overall Best UX award, recognizing joy, elegance, clarity, innovation and impact. Lisa Joy Trick and Janey Roh received the awards at the Awards Gala in front of over an audience of over 250 people at the Vancouver UX Awards. Kudoz scored especially high on impact and innovation, and the jury said they were impressed with the intentionality of the end-to-end journey that users go through the platform. One judge mentioned there was a good debate about what’s ‘good’ UX design, and why Kudoz should win Best UX award. The jury also recognized the unusual amount and depth of the user research that has gone into the development of Kudoz. Kudoz stood out from other finalists as the experience isn’t designed as a digital-only experience, but as an real world learning experience, supported digitally. This recognition comes at an important moment for the team. The work is far from ready, and one of the team’s challenges today is to blend the running of Kudoz with continued development to further improve the user experience, as well as the ‘behind the scenes’ operations.volume_up
