Topic
Whether you are an entrepreneur with an early product concept, or a startup company rapidly iterating towards product market fit, being able to express a new design or product feature and communicate effectively with team members is crucial to your success.
Pek will briefly review common industry design tools such as Invision for prototyping and collaboration, Sketch for designing interfaces, websites and icons, and Principle for animated and interactive user interfaces.
In addition, Pek will answer many common design questions such as:
- How do you take a product idea and materialize that vision into a visual concept?
- What tool is best for creating wireframes?
- How does a team effectively communicate design concepts for product iteration?
- What design components do developers most need during the software development process?
- When should developers incorporate design elements and processes into product development?
- And many more!
If you are a startup founder or entrepreneur, then you do not want to miss this talk.
