Junior UX Crunch: Design Language
Details
TICKET ONLY EVENT: http://bit.ly/2FJ65wS
A design language or design vocabulary is an overarching scheme or style that guides the design of a complement of products or architectural settings.
A unified design system is essential to building better and faster; better because a cohesive experience is more easily understood by our users, and faster because it gives us a common language to work with.
Join us as we sit down for another fantastic evening of theoretical insight, case studies, discussions and more!
Featuring;
Karen Yunqiu Li – UX lead & Senior Design Researcher - BBC
Steven Busuttil - Head of Design Strategy - Lloyds Banking Group
Dima Shvedun - Product Design Lead - PatSnap
