Why is it so hard to build a culture able to consistently deliver good design and the right product?
The summer break was refreshing, and it is time to tackle the hard questions with the community again. I am excited to see all of you and our panel:
- Hamid Berkrdi, a multi-disciplinary Product Designer, turned Design Strategy leader.
- Karlijn Deforche, a Manager with a fantastic experience of large scale transformations.
- Karen Lin, a former digital agency consultant, now head of product & UX at BloomMe.
We are going to talk about the outcomes, the big ideas behind buzzwords and the creative culture.
