September 6, 2017
Design is messy. Bringing structure to design is a challenge when the business is moving fast and your team is learning to scale. It’s all about the art of guided chaos. Participants will learn about what goes into “design process” for the product design team at MailChimp, and how we think about healthy, collaborative environments.

He is a storyteller, tinkerer, problem solver, and champion of fostering a shared vision across an organization.
