Designing Better, Together | 6:00 - 8:00 PM

While it’s easy to recognize effective design requires multi perspectives, it’s not always easy to make sure your best intentions are understood across disciplines.

In this panel incorporating business development, market research, user experience, and development, we will discuss strategies and considerations when you know your work will be acted on by downstream practices.

We hope you’re able to come and contribute to the discussion helping all of us make sure our best intentions are not lost in translation.

Takeaways

Visibility of fundamental needs across practices (business development, research, UX, development)
Strategies for positioning your outcomes for downstream practices
Tools for collaboration when incorporating multiple practices for a single engagement

The design track is curated by Austin Design Week, a week of free workshops, studio tours, talks, events and installations celebrating Austin design November 6-10.
