Topic & Speaker
Informed & Deliberate Design by Jared Fitch

Description:
We’ll chat about how Design Thinking can improve everything — including our work. When we take the time to be thoughtful, empathetic, and inquisitive we have a much better chance at making the right decisions in everything we do — even our products. We’ll have a good conversation and hopefully many high-fives.
