🔴 Live | Designing For Tech You Don't Get by Mrinali Kamath & Julianna Murphy

Organizations pioneering emerging technology need designers as much as scientists, both as user advocates and creative contributors. For designers, this provides a unique chance to push boundaries and help define the products of tomorrow. But how can designers make these contributions when the technology in question is beyond their understanding? Worse, how can they make their voices heard when the rest of the room is skeptical of the value of design? As designers working in Cloud and Quantum Computing, we live these struggles every day. To help designers thrive in the unknown, we will share concrete strategies to help them quickly understand their domain, communicate effectively across knowledge divides, and make valuable contributions to highly technical teams. The three main takeaways include: Learn why designers need to be in teams that work on highly complex products and address the common challenges they face while working in such teams. Share strategies to help designers and leads expand their roles to work effectively with highly technical individuals that are skeptical of design. Unpack the opportunities that exist to impact the development of emerging technology and earn a seat at the decision-making table. 📕 Download the Resources: "Designing For Tech You Don't Get - Cheatsheet" here: https://assets.awwwards.com/awards/gallery/2020/10/Designing-for-tech-you-don't-get-cheatsheet.pdf Subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest talks and interviews from top digital creatives: https://www.awwwards.com/subscribe/ For the latest web design trends - follow us: Blog: http://awwwards.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/awwwards Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awwwards/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/awwwards/ #webdesign #design #live
