Celebrating International Women's Day
Google Women Techmakers (http://womentechmakers.com) The Netherlands will kick off the first event in collaboration with Ladies that UX Amsterdam and the fantastic support of Google's diversity program (https://www.google.com/diversity/)!
Join us for the first evening of a two-part celebration! During the first event we will talk about design, run a Design Sprint GV Day 0 and answer your questions.
The Design Sprint from Google Ventures is a five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. It's a “greatest hits” of business strategy, innovation, behavior science, design thinking, and more—packaged into a battle-tested process that any team can use.
The second part of the event will be hosted on April 25th - see the event page for details (https://www.meetup.com/Women-Techmakers-The-Netherlands/events/238407300/).

Speaker:
Daryna Krutiy is a UX Consultant at Capgemini. After studying product design in Delft, she figured that the digital world is way more fun to design for. She has worked with companies like Priva, npk design and Novility. Her interests lay in discovering the motivations of users and addressing them.
Daryna will share some of her experiences with clients and bosses and discuss ways how to interact with various types of the 'tough' ones.
