Together: The Essential Fusion of Culture and Design with Justin Dauer

Join us for a presentation with our Special Guest Justin Dauer!

TALK SUMMARY
Together: The Essential Fusion of Culture and Design

Mobile First? In reality, it’s humans first. We cannot preach outwardly about empathy for those we’re designing for (re: human beings) if as designers, researchers, architects, developers (and on and on) we are not supporting each other. The notion of being human-centered has an innate synergy between the design process (and ultimate product) and office culture (and empathetic interactions). To the benefit of both dynamics, those touch points are identifiable and exploitable.

A “human-centered mindset” means people are at the center of everything in a business: empathy and compassion guide our hand across personnel, process, and product. Creating with compassion in an environment fueled by compassion means we never lose sight of what it’s all about: people and the environment in which they exist. Beyond functioning in this manner because “it’s the right thing to do,” quality of work, loyalty internally (team) and externally (users), and product innovation are all benefits to reap.

Join Justin as he demonstrates how putting humans and their environment first – in our design process and in the workplace -yields a successful end product and an endless fountain of inspiration. Across quality of work, quality of culture, and quality of life, the result is nothing short of product and industry transformation.

We’re ultimately Building a Future Legacy together by being mindful and purposeful of the environment we create within, those we’re creating for, and the environment they exist within. Taking shortcuts to achieve the bottom line, to match the C-level’s UX napkin sketch, or treat employees as a name on a spreadsheet is to regress rather than advance.
