Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the experiences of five undergraduates majoring in communications media at a medium-sized university as they created their own computer games. To analyze the data, I utilized the constant comparison method. After a thorough analysis of the phenomenon of user design, I identified three themes through qualitative analysis: User design fosters creativity and empowerment, User design can be challenging and serve as a design tool, and User design provides a rewarding learning experience.
