Overview
Your design manifesto! Principles to build better process, navigate critical feedback and expand your impact.
Manifesto: a declaration of your core values and beliefs.
With design increasingly playing a bigger and bigger role in the companies that define how we shop, think, and interact with one another, it’s vitally important that each of us cultivate a core set of design principles and beliefs that can help us navigate a world that often doesn’t have the best interest of the audience, or user, in mind.
A clearly stated design manifesto can help you establish strong personal process, navigate critical feedback, and expand your impact within your team or company.
Join me for an informal and far ranging talk on how writing a personal manifesto in design school has influenced the trajectory of my career and helped establish a strong team culture and process at Adobe.
