Get in, loser. We’re innovating UX Research (Gio Ferreira)
If you think the innovation and UX research combo is so fetch, this talk is for you! Despite the Mean Girls references, we’ll dive into what it really means to innovate in UX research - covering the challenges, opportunities, and the impact on design, especially in highly regulated industries. And don’t worry, we’re not Plastics - this is a friendly, insightful session with zero gatekeeping.
19:30 - 19:45
Building Kickass Design Teams (Phil Williams - Lead UX Designer, Homes Platform LBG)
Managing people is hard… As your career progresses, we’re often thrust into positions of management and leadership, with no real knowledge of how to build and grow teams.
With over 10 years of design leadership under his belt, Phil will show the frameworks and methodologies he’s used to help structure high performing design teams, that focus on developing skills and helping people achieve their goals.
19:45 - 20:00
