Our Speakersfor Pittsburgh Web Design Day 2015

Responsive Web Design for In-House Teams and Non-Unicorns

A full-day workshop with Bearded Studio.

These days there’s a lot of talk about unicorns. When we’re designing in the browser, creating complex user workflows, and building sites with more breakpoints than you could ever provide comps for – it sounds like everyone’s expected to be able to do everything well.

But in reality, experts in everything are about as common as … well, actual unicorns. So for those of that can’t do it all, what can we do?

If you’re like us, you probably have colleagues with some knowledge in fields outside their area of expertise, and a deep specialization in a particular discipline. The key to making that work is a process that capitalizes on structured and well-timed collaboration between people with different skills.

Whatever your area of expertise, we’ll address how you fit in the design process, and how to structure your days so that your team can do the work of a herd of mythical beasts.

Through an interactive workshop using practical real-world examples and processes, we’ll answer questions like:

• What skills and specialties make up a great responsive team?
• What processes and deliverables lend themselves to effective multi-disciplinary collaboration?
• Collaboration sounds great, but I need time to work alone too. When do we work together, and when do we work apart?
• More collaboration sounds like slowing down – how do we stay efficient and keep schedules moving along rapidly?
