Have you heard phrases like: “Users? We don’t need no stinkin’ users!” “Yea, we *could* do that, but it would be harder... So I’mma gonna do this instead!” “Oh, come on... *EVERYONE* knows how to use ctrl + f to find something on a website!” Are they coming from the developers on your project? Then maybe you need to help them empathize with your users! In this presentation/workshop/thing you will learn how to: * Build bridges of trust between design and development * Foster a culture of user centered design in even the most hardened developers * Balance value to user and difficulty when discussing design
