Design Advocacy: Shaping How Your Organization Approaches Design

w/ @Emma Blackwell

https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83809135503


Reaching design maturity doesn’t need to be an upward battle, but so often we find ourselves the solo voice in the room or given another “make it look pretty” request. In this talk, we’ll discuss what it means to advocate for design and how to succeed in changing the way your organization sees your work and the role of design within their teams.

Hi all I’m really bummed that I will not be able to attend today’s meetup. I got called into jury duty today but I will definitely join the next meetup. My apologies for the late update and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Meetup attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meetup by clicking “Attend this meetup” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meetups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meetup (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
