Hey Chicago IxDF Fam!
Are you curious about what interaction design looks like in a large organization? Do you wonder what the team, tools, and tactics look like when a design organization is formed inside a 170+ year old business? Our very own local volunteer leader, Devin, will lead a discussion about founding and leading a product design group within PwC (the firm that counts the votes for the Oscars).
For the past 4 years, Devin has led a group of UX and UI designers that has focused on taking products from idea to implementation. He will talk about the evolution of the team, how they work, and what methods they’ve used to make design a cornerstone of PwC’s product development process. Bring your curiosity and questions on September 17th so we can have a great discussion.
If you’re new to the Chicago IxDF crew, feel free to pop in the zoom meeting early for introductions.

You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.
