Behind the talk
Question 1
“I would like to ask about processes. Obviously in the startup resources are limited so there is not so much time for research/testing. which one you might consider essential? where do you find users for testing if it’s a specified target audience”?
Question 2
“Additionally, in the startup, you would like to test many things (cause everything you build from the beginning) – how to always find different people to test the design?”
Question 3
“How does a designer working in a startup (and normally looking to work with startups) make themselves visible for other startups to find their work and reach out to them for help?”
Question 4
“What are your tips for maintaining good communication within organizations during corona?”
Question 5
“What is your opinion on using management advice to sort priorities in terms of priorities in terms of importance?”
