Kat Vellos: Speaker, Facilitator, Experience Designer

Many a designer has claimed human connection as the root of their professional practice. After all, with buzzwords like empathy and human-centered jumping out at us from Medium articles and “about me” pages, it’s easy to get swept up in the hype and tack this one last keyword onto your identity as a designer. I’m guilty of this myself. I assumed empathy was a part of every designer’s toolkit...

Anisha Jain: VP of Design at Cruise

I was a bit hesitant, at first, to choose Anisha Jain for my second biography. After all, virtually nothing is known about her “early life” (i.e., anything pre-college). I can’t provide any details on where she was born, for instance, or where she grew up – not even the dreams she held close during her childhood. Even so, the more I read about Jain, the more invested I became in not only her...
