About this workshop:
Summary
"I've never actually opened Photoshop... should I feel guilty?"
"I don't think designers should code (but I secretly take online dev courses)"
"I don't know how to do user research"
We all hold secrets, but it's rare that were given a chance to share them (anonymously) with like-minded people who can provide solid input that matters. This is a session I've led a few times at the Boulder UI/UX Meetup group and every time, we discover new things about our community, about our profession and about ourselves. Leading up to this moderated session, we'll use an anonymous form to gather 'confessions' from attendees. Then, somewhere in the woods around camp, we'll gather and discuss. Come ready to hear juicy confessions, and participate in a healthy discussion around each one.
Facilitator
