How to Innovate with Rapid Prototyping and User Testing by Marieke McCloskey

We are very excited to host Marieke McCloskey from UserTesting. She will share advice on how to build products that people love by spending time in the product discovery phase understanding who your users are and how they might use and react to your product. Marieke will share fast and cheap ways to validate design concepts through prototyping and remote unmoderated research.
