<p>Join us January 21st at 6:30pm!</p>
<p>Our TopicVirgin America. The New York Times. Apple. All three are design leaders and have beautiful websites.</p>
<p>Unbeknownst to many of us, they also have gigantic design teams, amazing product or content, and seemingly unlimited budgets - things most of us designers don’t have.</p>
<p>After spending several years designing large-scale responsive websites for Fortune 500 companies with mega-budgets, I now specialize in design for progressive non-profit organizations. The good news is that we can still create kick-ass design for any budget as long as we utilize solid design fundamentals, great communication, and a few tricks up our sleeves.</p>
<p>Some points that I’ll be covering in this talk are:
How to effectively iterate on concepts
Time-sucks in the design process and how to fix them
Great time-saving open source tools
Better communication with developers and clients</p>
<p>Our Presenter, Josh Riggs
Josh started his UX design career back in ’02 just like most other designers - by creating a website for his metal band. Since then, he’s been a designer for various interactive agencies, a mega health care conglomerate, and an entertainment-focused Drupal consultancy.</p>
<p>He’s currently the Lead UX Designer at Portland-based ThinkShout, where he puts his design skills to work for non-profit organizations doing good in the world. Originally from Florida, Josh was lured to Portland by Pok Pok’s chicken wings and Blue Star’s donuts. He likes cold weather, long-exposure photography, and has a female dog named Frank.</p>
<p>Our Venue, ThinkShout
Thanks to ThinkShout for hosting us this month! They are located at 433 NW 4th Ave, Portland OR 97209, Suite 100.</p>
