Look Who’s Talking: How to Make Designers Work Amiably

There are more than 60 designers at DataArt, all of them distributed between Russia, Ukraine, Argentina, and other countries. Sometimes, we staff the project with several designers, who barely know each other, or come from various locations. Often it leads to the fact that opinionated and experienced people start arguing over UX decisions. How to avoid this? What types of designers’ conflicts do we typically face? We’ll talk about this, including a few real cases, and polishing the topic with a little bit of theory on psychology and anthropology.

In this talk, you will learn:

Hiring talent and working in a collaborative, team atmosphere
Teaching to argue and receive the feedback in a constructive way
Techniques how to pacify conflict between designers and other stakeholder
