About this Event

Great products don’t happen by accident — they happen when business and design work in alignment.

Join Emerge Elite for an interactive UX workshop led by Sarah Saccomanno, Product Designer at Tangerine, focused on one of the most critical and overlooked phases of product development: discovery and stakeholder alignment.

This session will break down how to run an effective discovery exercise that brings designers, business stakeholders, and cross-functional teams onto the same page — ensuring clarity, efficiency, and better outcomes.

Whether you’re a designer, entrepreneur, product manager, or business professional, this workshop will give you practical tools to improve communication, collaboration, and decision-making.

The session will conclude with an open Q&A on communication, UX careers, and stakeholder management.



What You’ll Learn
  • How to run a successful UX discovery session
  • Techniques to align designers and non-designers
  • How to communicate design decisions effectively
  • Strategies for managing stakeholders with confidence
  • How UX supports business goals and product success
