Talk
Based on two case studies, this talk focuses on creating system holistic UX and broadening the strategy around the experience of a product to an ecosystem based thinking. From a design and development perspective, this talk discusses a mindful shift from focusing on the singular user experience to a community driven experience and making connecting people a fundamental affordance in our user flows rather than an after thought.
