About Event
From Design to Founder
Designers are trained to shape form and function—but what happens when they apply that same mindset to building companies?
Founder by Design brings together a panel of design founders to share the messy, inspiring, and practical sides of turning design skills into entrepreneurial ventures. We’ll talk about the unique advantages (and challenges) of being a design founder, how product vision becomes business strategy, how form and function extend beyond pixels into people and organizations, and what it really takes to leap from design work to company building.
Panelists
Nicole Martinez // Let's Jetty
Jared Strain // Super Top Secret
Clint Savage // Parallel
