About this Event
Synopsis:
In the race to launch a green-field digital product, founders often prioritize feature count over user flow and curb appeal—a mistake that causes many startups to stumble out of the gate. Join Kenyon Congdon for a high-impact session on why User Experience is the ultimate "force multiplier" for early-stage startups. This workshop explores how to balance the craft of design and the speed of a startup, using modern AI tools to accelerate design and synthesize user research insights in record time. Through real-world teardowns of successful and struggling interfaces, you’ll learn to identify the invisible barriers that stop users in their tracks. We’ll dive into user-centered decisions and research to help you validate your product’s direction early and often.
What You’ll Walk Away With:
- The "Zero-to-One" UX Blueprint: Designing for growth without technical debt.
- AI-Powered Insights: Leveraging AI to automate user research and sentiment analysis.
- The Founder’s Friction Audit: High-speed methods to evaluate your prototype today.
