Welcome to the School of Design's new home in the Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts.

Program: Interaction Design & Development G103

Interaction Design is an interdisciplinary field merging design skills such as user experience, interface development and graphic design with coding fundamentals to create meaningful experiences between the user and digital platforms such as social media, websites, wearables and mobile devices.

Modified by the psychological, social, economic and cultural factors that shape our present and future world, this ever-evolving field envisions new ways of humancomputer interaction within systems, services, products and spaces across multiple industries.

Throughout the Interaction Design and Development program, students will be expected to address such topics as mixed realities, immersive environments, usability, spatial relations and human factors. Students will engage in research, design, testing and group work to create original interactions in a way that is meaningful and practical.

“The program and the research projects at George Brown helped me learn various aspects of interaction design and look at the problems from various angles. I have gained vast knowledge not only in interaction design but also in humancentered design. George Brown helped me break the shell and encouraged me to be a leader in finding better design solution.”
