UX Cambridge
Idea to prototype in just 180 minutes
Too much time is wasted creating that big design upfront only to find that users don’t like what you have built once it has been released. Today we are in danger of not only over designing, but also designing solutions to the wrong problems. Work with me as I help teams experiment with rapid design techniques to ensure design solutions for the right business problems are delivered to the right target audiences rapidly and continuously. Learn how to create design solutions fast as a team and work with a client to get products that really matter out into market early that will delight users.

Design Jam Oxford
Rapid ideation tips and design mentoring
Design Jam is a one-day design session, during which people will team up to tackle engaging User Experience (UX) challenges. Similar to developer ‘hackdays’ the aim is to get UX professionals, designers, developers (and more) together to learn and collaborate with each other while working on actual design problems. The sessions champion open-source thinking & sharing and are non-profit, run by local volunteers.
