AWS Quickly Build Architectural Diagrams on Adobe XD

What I do ?

I'm a UX Engineer at ExamPro. My Background is in 📊 Business Marketing specializing in Customer Experience Design (CXD). To gain further perceptive on the customer experience, I decided this last year to pick up 👨🏽‍💻 programming skills both in Full Stack and Cloud Computing.

I am also an avid gamer 🎮 over the last 20 years, which I like to think contributes to knowledge of customer experience. 😋

Why Use Adobe XD For Building Architects

Adobe XD recently renamed their Symbols functionality to Components adding a new host features such as better responsive dragging and importing en-mass replacement information.

One of our favourite features of Adobe XD is the ability to share documents with other team-members similar to how you can share🤝 a google doc. So hence, The UX Engineer👩🏼‍🎨 + Stakeholder🕵‍♂ + Cloud Architects🧙‍♂ + Developers👨🏽‍💻 can all have a look and advocate for the User & Business.

Why did we build🛠 this on Adobe XD ?

If you have yet to give Adobe XD a try, you should because it is free to use.

With both Adobe XD features to sync new file changes and Components feature, it allows us to ship user-centric architect diagrams to clients quickly.
