From zero to one: Building products that solve real problems
In this session, I'll talk about the mental framework and experiences I've been through that help transform concepts into impactful design experiences. I'll leverage my experience in building successful products from scratch, whether it was at Grab to Canva. We'll delve into user research methodologies, product and design visioning, stakeholder alignment strategies, and continuous learning for design optimization.
