How I accidentally became a Designpreneur

We've all been there before. We have our processes, methods, and mechanisms in place for how to design and deliver products people love. But what happens when all of that is thrown out the window? When you are asked to deliver in half the time, with a quarter the the team size required, and across 15 different platforms on day one. In this talk, Shawn will discuss what you need to do to survive take-off, a trip around the sun, and bringing everyone together to succeed in designing, developing and launching a global streaming service in record time. He will highlight key pitfalls and important areas to achieve success through adaptive intelligence, quick decisions and trade-offs that keep the customer and the company culture at the center focus.

Ever feel like your design dreams are crushed by practicality? In this session, we’ll tackle the common plight of designers compromising their vision because “the PO said so” (often code for “the developers are giving me puppy eyes”). We’ll explore: * Communicating design ideas so compellingly even your cat would approve * Winning the hearts and minds of your devs and POs * Keeping your creative spark alive in a world where “dream big” means “slightly larger than a sticky note” Join us to learn how to navigate team collaboration without sacrificing your UX ideals (or sanity). Sense of humor required, magic wand optional!
