Let’s talk about branding, design that drives adoption and a wonderful place where emerging tech meets aesthetics.
My talks range from 20 to 45 min, and are always customized to fit the audience and industry.
It can be a deep-dive for designers full of tips and tactics for building better client relationships and for eliciting their feedback. Or design strategy in a nutshell for startup founders, so they know how to win the hearts and minds of their early adopters. Or a hands-on session for dev community leaders who want their next tech event to be more attractive to designers and non-dev attendees.
