In October 2019, I gave a 15-minute Lightning Talk to Workiva’s UX team during our week-long Team Jam in Scottsdale, Arizona. We spent three days bonding as a team, participating in workshops, tackling design challenges, and learning from each other.
My talk, Stories & Sharpies, came together over a couple of weeks before the jam. It dives into detail on a basic yet easily-forgotten design tool, the marker. Then I give sketching challenges and practical applications for using sketching to enhance design practices. At the end of the talk, I handed out markers and challenged the team to go draw!
