Not too Serious Design Prototyping

Matthew Sibigtroth, UX prototyper, Google

Join us for our second-to-last Design Field Notes of the spring semester with Matthew Sibigtroth. For nearly two decades, Matthew has been creatively blending physical and digital technologies to quickly prototype varieties of experiences. He's been lucky enough to works alongside creatives and engineers at Stupid Fun Club, frog, and X. Currently, he is part of Seed Studio, a small multidisciplinary design group in Google Hardware, exploring the futures of human centered technology.

Design ideas oftentimes require tangible artifacts in order to be explored, validated, and iterated. This talk considers the various patterns and tactics one can employ towards this aim while also touching on how a playful and even irreverent ethos can elevate such prototypes.

CAL DAY 2022
