Hire the right designers for your startup (Founders Network event)

We partnered with Founders Network to teach founders about the world of design! This event is for startup founders and entrepreneurs in the tech industry.

-------

About:
As a startup founder, it’s crucial that you hire the right designer. Yet, there are so many different types of designers.

We have product designers, UX designers, UI designers, user researchers, growth designers, marketing designers, content designers, and the list goes on… How do you know which type of designer you need for your team? Where do you even start?

For this Founders Network event, design experts Corie Johnson, Elina Lin, and Andi Galpern will share how you as a tech startup founder can choose the best designer based on your startup’s needs. Our panelists know the tech startup ecosystem inside and out. They’ve scaled startups from the early stages, led design teams from seed to series B, and design for some of the world’s biggest brands.

We’ll talk about:
• How to evaluate design experience and portfolios
• Skills and characteristics to look for
• How a designers’ job changes based on the size of company they work for
• Where you can find design talent, based on your budget
• Should you hire a designer or design it yourself?

• Corie Johnson, Design Manager at ZenBusiness
First designer at ZenBusiness, VP at The Operator Foundation

• Elina Lin, Senior Product Designer at Lyra Health
(Formerly at LinkedIn, Amplitude, and SimpleHabit)

• Andi Galpern, UX Growth and Branding Consultant
