Design Matters

Art is subjective. You like it or you don’t like it. But design is the science of art. It’s art with purpose. Design is about intent.

What do you want people to know, feel, and do?

Have your products been designed with intent? Are you willing to break out of your comfortable thought patterns and stretch your limits? Are you willing to test? To try? To fail?

Bring your biggest problems. Your sticky wickets. Your unsolvable problems and your biggest dreams. Jason will help you better understand how you can utilize design to better achieve your goals. With an emphasis on testing, Jason will review a number of audience projects and offer simple changes or tests that will help you maximize the work you've put into your project
