UX Unicorn | u•ni•corn - yõonə,korn |

noun

• Mythical user experience designer with an advanced and adaptive skill range. Outstanding skills in graphic design, rapid prototyping, front end development, user testing, technical specifications, marketing and branding. It does not have an opinion, it has a process, and will harmonize with any environment.

• Fluffy horse with a horn projecting from it's head, blueish shoes, ribbon neck thing and a blinking eye. Big enough to be used as a cleaning sponge and small enough to be sealed in a Jiffy bag

Rock Star, Ninja, Jedi, Guru and Unicorn... This mythical T-shaped creature can make any unusable interface a magical experience, restitute poor strategy decisions, mitigate lack of management vision, inspire an under resourced development team, and squeeze mesmerizing rainbows out of woefully inadequate budgets. Unfortunately it doesn’t exist… Or does it?

In collaboration with Webdagene, we invite you to come unicorn-hunting with Rockstar Lauren Currie, Ninja Krystal Higgins, Guru Gerry McGovern & Jedi Master Mike Monteiro in this be-all-end-all panel on designers, skill sets, and company culture.
