Stop Making Things Pretty and Start Designing

Michelle Schulp (@marktimemedia (http://twitter.com/marktimemedia)) of Marktime Media (http://www.marktimemedia.com/) will join us for April's meetup. Michelle is a web and print designer and WordPress aficionado. She is fascinated with the problem solving aspect of design and how to improve not only the look of your website, but also it's performance.

Design is not just about themes, graphics, or the look-and-feel of a website. We will discuss "design thinking" as a problem solving strategy, including why the most beautiful sites are not always the most successful. We will end with some ways for you to start applying "design thinking" principles to your own projects.
