Presentation


Overview

If you work in the design field long enough, eventually you’ll be asked to “please start over.” (not always with the “please.”) Sometimes it’s because starting over is inherent to the project—like a client whose identity needs to be reinvented or refreshed. But sometimes it’s because something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. Emily will share stories and experiences of the good and the bad (and the ugly) kinds of starting over, with the honesty and optimism that has helped her get through both.

Objective
