Sarah Gibbons - Chief Designer at NN/g
For a well-structured user experience it is imperative not to focus on a siloed practice. In order to collect knowledge, generate new ideas, and design solutions, it’s best to bring people and professionals together. But even
when people come together with the best intentions, ideas and outputs don’t just simply happen. This course helped me to deal with all sorts of people and diverge and converge to bring the best ideas on the table.
