Visual-artist-turned-UX/UI-designer is an increasingly common career trajectory. We'll explore why this trend is happening, & examine how artistic practice involves stewardship of data sets. Whether you're an artist who'd like to pivot into UX/UI, a leader or recruiter in search of fresh approaches to product thinking, or a UXer who wants to think more like an artist in your day-to-day work, you'll come away with practical suggestions you can put into practice as soon as youd like.
