Speaker Series: How To Be a Software Engineer's Favorite Designer w/ Ulu Mills

​Despite our best intentions, design and engineering often work in separate worlds—but the best digital products are born when designers and developers co-create products in lockstep. Join this workshop to learn stories, strategies and tools that will help you become the kind of designer that engineers love to collaborate with.

​This won’t be a static lecture-style presentation. You’ll be encouraged to come with your own stories, experiment with exercises in thinking like an engineer, and leave with a valuable crowdsourced toolkit of best practices.

​We'll cover practical strategies for improving communication, aligning on shared goals, and designing with implementation in mind. This session is welcome to all! If you’re an engineer or product specialist, we’d love your perspectives and participation.
