UX Office Hours

by Bryce Howitson, EJ Makela, Jodi Kuehn, Ray Canapini, CJ Jensen, Homer Rutledge, Lucy Hinton, Rothanak Chhoun, and Benjamin Spafford | at Minnebar 18 | 9:20 – 4:30 | View Schedule

Do you crave feedback on your project/product/service/hobby/idea?

Stop by and chat with experts in UX, Product, marketing, and much more.

Topics are open and varied. We're here to provide feedback and answer questions. But be warned, we like to ask "why". You may be challenged to think differently. And we might even discuss unexpected solutions.

If you're asking, "What might I get out of attending?" Past UX office hours have touched on topics like:

  • How do I get my users to...?
  • Help me identify my audience
  • What's the best way to get feedback on my product?
  • Do I have product market fit? If so how do I know?
  • Would you give me a UX review on my project?
  • How do I hire a good designer?
  • I haven't identified competitors, do I have a valid service?
  • How do I work with my engineering team?
  • How do I work with my design team?

Where to find us: The UX Office Hours will be staffed throughout the event. Find us in the B1 building near the "living room", in the pods (small rooms with tables/whiteboards), or nearby. Look for volunteers wearing orange mentor badges.
