Session descrip­tion

Hannah Donovan will talk about the designer as a sto­ry­teller — espe­cially in terms of the impor­tance of this role within a team. Improve your out­put as a designer by tak­ing a closer look at influ­enc­ing the input. As a visual nar­ra­tor we help to visu­alise, inspire and curate for the peo­ple we work with as well as con­nect­ing sce­nar­ios around the larger prod­uct saga that sup­ports the inter­faces we design. By exam­in­ing your input, make your out­put more effec­tive with your team and users alike, paving paths for peo­ple to tell their own sto­ries as your prod­uct evolves over time.
