In the past year the creative process has shifted, working remotely has created new challenges for professionals working in Tech.
In this masterclass, with Vitaly Friedman (Creative Lead, Smashing Magazine), we’ll look into the creative process in remote teams, and explore what does it means to be designing and building efficiently in the surrealist year 2021.
We’ll dive into new practices and strategies for distributed work, UX/Design literacy, content wireframing, design systems, customer exposure hours, KANO model and environments for collaborative remote work. We’ll look into tooling and techniques that work, and the ones that don’t work for companies around the world — all trying to figure out how to make remote work work well.
