Past Talks

Continuous Design
Main Stage

In this session, Muriel will discuss A-Z scenarios from her career span of having built multiple Design & UX departments in 5+ Startups:

From inception, through ROI & business cases, to crafting a full blown UXD department - and continuously proving their worth. She will also tap into the everlasting "Agile" topic: How to accelerate speed without jeopardizing quality for fast-paced teams (Startups & Corporations alike). At a time when UX departments are being absorbed by engineering, Muriel will discuss how to prove the case and turn UX into a commercial strategy for success.

Continuous Design

There are many things that designers are responsible for: crafting prototypes, incorporating feedback, and rushing to "feed" developers. As a result, the critical analysis and investigation of the best solutions often get skipped. Muriel will share how she designed a new Way Of Working for her design and UX teams at Disney, ABC, and Walmart Labs. She'll take you through her practical steps to:
- develop a solution that ticks the boxes of corporate policies
- getting senior buy-in for implementing the changes
- enhancing designers' soft skills to make their work more impactful
