How can we present our work more effectively? Why is it important to think critically about categories? And how does a lack of diversity lead to poor design decisions? Donna Spencer sheds light on those questions (and many more) in this fun yet serious dive into UX, IA and design culture.

 

Donna is an author, mentor, international speaker and independent consultant, with over 20 years of experience in UX design, information architecture and user research. She founded UX Australia and ran the event (which continues today) for 9 years. Donna has been described as “the Joker - the card that can slot in for any other card in the deck, and is therefore incredibly valuable.” She’s in her element, solving complex problems.
