EVENT DETAILS |
Design is fundamental to any business with a customer - which is most of them by our last count . Depending on the startup, design can be a key differentiator, a source of competitive advantage, the underpinning of all marketing, the experience that a customer or client has on your site, or the IRL experience with a product or service. "Design is how it works."
The titans like Atlassian, Facebook, Google, & Amazon, prioritize design. So they hire worldclass designers & even acquire design agencies.
Those aren't luxuries most early stage startups can afford. So how should an early-stage entrepreneur think about design during the early days? Where should it be on the priority list? What design principles, tips & even hacks can help entrepreneurs produce excellent & even sustainable early versions of brand, product, experience & marketing?
We'll discuss
Important design principles
Form vs. function when it comes to designing
How to create a design strategy
Design thinking & user experience
Useful tools & resources
Brand development
Different kinds of design
How to interview designers
And much more!
