Conflict is the Key to Great UX
It's time to kick all of the elephants out of the room.
Letting go of preconceived notions is a requisite skill for creating whole-hearted user experiences. In his talk, Steve will help you look at your current projects through a vulnerable lense to see imperfections, pre-empt design oversights, and let go of personal defense mechanisms that interfere with the creative process. This session will give you the tools to free project teams to express true creativity, to bond, and to connect at a deeper level with each other and the people using our products and designs.
