Growing as a Designer: How to Master a Craft in 100 Days

Featured speaker at Seattle Interactive. See the talk before she gives the talk in October, for only $10.

How can you develop your craft as a designer using any tool? Tiantian Xu talks about how.

Tiantian Xu, a Senior Product Designer at Uber, will show you how to prepare (and stick with) your own journey in developing and honing your design skills through the 100-day design challenge.

Any skill, any tool, become an expert in 100 days with small, incremental steps.

Since 2015, Tiantian has taken on five of her own 100-day-projects, including doodle, lettering, watercolor, vector illustration and motion design. She’ll talk about how it honed her craft and made her a better designer in the process.

She is also speaking at the Seattle Interactive Conference this coming October. Be the first to hear her talk at the Sketch Meetup!
