Taste, Creativity, Design w/ Google

​Everyone is talking about taste. They say design and taste have become key differentiators in the age of AI. But what is taste, and how do you cultivate your own?

​This talk takes taste out of the abstract and gives it a working definition: its origins, how it’s built, and how to refine your own palate.

​Then we put it to work. In a live demo, we’ll build with a design.md — a file that has your design preferences in one file to make it easier to build with taste. Bring an idea or something you’re already working on!

​

​Topics we will cover:

• ​The cost and value of taste

• ​How to develop your design sense with today's tools

• ​How to start embedding design into your workflows
