Design as an Application of Engineering

​Is Backend, Frontend, UX design often misunderstood? Or has it become such an integral part of our lives, we overlook design as the foundational brick behind every nicely or (not) so nicely engineered product.

In this episode of (rebranded) 'How it Works', we're talking about 'Design an an Application of Engineering'

Design is everywhere.
But the focus of this episode is to re-wire how:
→ Product Design is often narrowed to visual and user appeal, rather than how good design efficiently reduces logical and functional defects from arising.

Joining me to demystify this are Nish and Sarah!
🔸Nish is a Product Designer at Microsoft with a focus on emerging technologies and empowering diverse voices in tech. With a masters in HCI and undergrad in CS, she is involved in academia and has published book chapters for the world's largest open university.

​🔸Sarah is an experience UX designer with not just a wide range of projects under her belt, but an increasing curiosity to understanding how users think, feel and interact.

​In this episode, we will cover:
▪Why product design starts long before the first screen.
▪How engineers and designers solve the same problem from different perspectives.
▪Why technical constraints shape great design.
▪Why some brilliant designs never make it to production.
▪Recruiting tips for Frontend, Backend, and UX engineers to get hired.

Join us on July 30, 7PM EST to get a new perspective on Design!
