Talks from the Organizers - screenless design, humanizing social, & diet hacking
Details
Ever wonder what it is your Refresh Austin organizers do in their day-to-day? Come join us as William Yarbrough (Experience Design Lead at Mighty), Kim Loop (Associate State Director of Digital Outreach at AARP), and Caleb Thompson (Support Engineer at Heroku) give short talks in their respective fields.
William's talk will be "Design without Screens" - how best to support an ecosystem that doesn't have a native interface and how it relates to adaptive design in the future.
In "Humanizing your Social Media Strategy," Kim will be discussing a case study that shows it's about the people you engage with that matter most when getting your message out.
Caleb will be speaking on John Walker's "The Hacker's Diet" going over some of the ideas around approaching weight management as an engineering problem.
