Designing Design Teams
We're uniquely creative, we're inspiration driven, we obsess over every detail and we can rarely turn-it-off. We are designers, and, we're different. We think differently, we perform differently and we need to work differently.
A rant, a rave and a reality check on how we build creative teams, manage collaboration and fuel the inspiration inside.
This is a talk not just focused on sharing data points, facts and figures, but is also a discussion on changing our perspective of the world around us, the world we work within and design for. It's a conversation on merging proven models and philosophies with common sense to better allow the best of us to do our best work.

Martin did a great job of pointing out how life will be much happier when you plan to eliminate burnout ahead of time. Applying that concept for myself is going to be very beneficial and will help all team initiatives. I feel happier already!
