As usual the meeting will be at Benchmark - more details below. Hope
to see y'all there!
Brian will present how to get started working with Sketchflow. Brian
will also invite Alisha Natvig, User Experience Specialist, in to
speak about her current project and discuss her real world exposure to
Sketchflow.
Frequently we need to be reminded that we are not only a designer or a
developer but always both. Sometimes we get stuck diving into code or
diving into TDD when what really needs to happen is define quality
prototypes. Whether you are a crappy designer or a crappy developer
you still need a common toolset and skillset. We are always
accomplishing the same goal and that is to deliver an effective
product that meets the business needs.
We need too:
- Quickly experiment and explore different ideas
- Keep clients focused on the end goal
- Make a prototype as real as a project demands
- Enable effective client review and feedback
