Designers and developers today are working closer together in agile environments. Given their different backgrounds, training and goals, these two professions typically approach problem solving differently.
To make working together less stressful, this session presents the most common frustrations that developers and designers have with each other and how you can avoid them.
Unless you are a fabled "UX Unicorn" who can do EVERYTHING—at some point you will encounter (and possibly lock horns with) someone tasked with taking your vision and turning it into a real world product.
Designers and developers are working closer together in agile environments more than ever. Yet many designers are reluctant to learn about the code used to bring their designs to life. This holds them back from more innovative designs.
I discuss the most common frustrations I find that developers have with designers and how you can work to avoid them.
Digital product accessibility improves everyone's experience, not just the "disabled". Instead of treating accessibility as a checklist or afterthought, it’s important to incorporate it into every design and development decision being made throughout a technology project.
In this session, we explore and dispel several myths that often keep digital products from being accessible to all.
Tired of product critiques that never seem to make progress? Learn how to get better results and fewer bruised egos. This session is for anyone in product development who wants to learn how to run and participate in more productive design reviews.
Attendees learn how to guide discussion and questions, define product review goals, and create a more exploratory, rather than combative, environment.
Too frequently, we think about the “look & feel” for digital designs more than we do about the story we are trying to tell. Learn how digital storytelling at the intersection of editorial, design, and technology improves understanding and retention.
This session helps designers and marketers understand how digital channels can be used to tell compelling stories.
Explaining design decisions to non-designers is a challenge. The decisions designers make are not just instinctual, but seem arbitrary to many. They are based on what the designer feels will appeal to the audience’s sense of trust.
This session is for designers and non-designers who want to better understand and how to explain the criteria that make a great and trustworthy design. This can include anyone who is part of the product creation process or part of the end user's experience, such as developers, marketers, or even the helpline operator.
According to a survey conducted by the World Economic Forum, by 2025 creativity will be the fifth most vital job skill for employees. That said, the other top four skills all rely on an individual's creativity.
Whether you want to develop general creativity skills or apply creative thinking to a specific problem, this session will explain how to inject new ideas and insights into your routines. Attendees will learn practical techniques to get the creative juices flowing and open themselves to a growth mindset.
Which do you dread more: sitting through a boring presentation or giving a boring presentation? There’s no point in suffering if you can create and use presentation materials that effectively communicate your message by focusing on what is important to your audience.
We work with participants to refine their messages by simplifying their presentations and avoiding information overload. We also train them to produce a separate handout rather than a cluttered slide deck, and practice presenting their work with confidence.
If you do not see a session that meets your needs, talk to us. We can prepare tailored sessions for interactive experience, interface design, customer experience, student experience, and creativity. We also regularly talk about cultural issues such as trust online, ageism in tech, and the future of technology.
Set up a free meeting to discuss your needs.
