Stop Being a Designer: What We Can Learn from Comic Book Creation for Better Collaboration
March 23, 2019
2:00 PM – 2:20 PM
Peninsula 5-6
User experience professionals want to be part of the product, business and experience conversation early and often. How can we truly collaborate to solve more than just design problems and make an impact?
Stop being Designers and start collaborating like comic book creators.
We need to connect with our partners as co-creators and treating collaborators like users. In this session, we will apply the lessons of comic book creation to the practice of user experience, information architecture and product design, including:
- Inspiring your fellow collaborators before ever reaching an end user
- Improving collaboration with techniques like the Marvel Method
- Using story to put our collaborators principles in the center of the experience
- Creating a shared language that our collaborators understand
Your host is a Sr Manager of Product Design at Disney with over 20 years experience in design and a life long comics fan.
