Drained to Driven: The Mindset Shift Every Designer Needs

Jacquie is a Design Leader and Consultant with 10+ years of experience turning chaos into clarity. She’s led design at startups and social impact orgs, sat through one too many “innovation” meetings, and is proudly allergic to performative UX. She believes the best products are built by people who still care (despite everything)—and helps those people do just that, without losing their minds (or weekends).

Alex is a Design Leader, Coach and Educator who draws well over a decade of design leadership experience from companies big and small, from government to corporate to startups to design communities. Interacting with hundreds of designers, he consolidates his experience into a vibrant UX coaching practice that helps designers to find clarity, confidence, and creative energy in the part of their work that matters most.

Steve is our carrot vendor. Unlike most, Steve cares about excellence in his craft over his job title. We suspect that might be why he's happy.
