How to successfully defend design decisions

​Learning how to defend design decisions is a critical skill. It’s not enough just to show what you did, you also have to explain why you did it. ​As designers, we’ve all be confronted to situations in which defending design decisions felt like an impossible task. ​Maybe stakeholders think your designs aren’t intuitive. ​Or maybe they ask you to add something that makes the composition feel unbalanced. ​Learn how to effectively defend design decisions and become a better designer. Clearly communicate or die tryin’! ​​----------- ​🐰 About our speakers ​Ludovic and Colton are co-founders of Kickass UX, an education platform dedicated to helping graphic designers transition to UX. ​Previously, Ludovic was Senior UX designer at Smartsheet, where he designed entire products from the ground up and implemented mobile and desktop design systems. ​Colton was also a Senior UX designer at Smartsheet, where he worked across the entire product.
