New Perspectives For Design Thinking—10 ways to fail as the person designing for other people

Time: Wednesday 20th March 13:45-14:15
Room: Doric
Track: User Experience & Content

This talk is a conversation with myself reflecting on designing for other people as an architect, digital designer, web designer, digital producer and content creator for over 30 years both in Europe and New Zealand. Why is this relevant? I am not sure about the relevance, but I thought you might need a few laughs. Because this is what this industry needs—we need to look at ourselves and have a good long laugh. Ah and yes, I am also the product owner of the New Zealand-based Sector Drupal Distribution.
