Operational lessons from "Atypical" brains

Senior Design Ops Manager, Lecturer

People with Autism Spectrum Disorder are often perceived as “atypical,” requiring special care and adding little in return. But our perceptive and cognitive differences allow us special insight into systems and process that can help decode the most abstract, enigmatic, and amorphous parts of creative work. In this talk, we’ll explore how neurodiverse thought patterns and frameworks can help you and your design team turn your work into scalable, measurable, componentized systems. (And maybe you’ll even learn how to do a little magic.)
