Design Thinking with Brooke Creef

Come learn the magical wizardry of design thinking with Home Depot UX Manager Brooke Creef! Brooke will guide us through her design thinking thoughts and then we will work together on a few exercises to practice what we've learned.

Here's some more about Brooke (https://www.linkedin.com/in/brookecreef/):
At the Home Depot, she works with a cross-functional leadership team to spearhead the Design Sprint scaling initiative. Specifically, The Home Depot is using Design Sprints at scale to drive design transformation, empower teams and foster a culture of innovation. Additionally, she trains facilitators and designers in design thinking (like us!), helps with resource management, project LoE, and sprint planning.

Before joining The Home Depot, Brooke worked as a Consultant with clients such as Coca-Cola, UPS, State Farm, Cox Communications, AT&T, and The Weather Channel.
