I am an NYC-based UX/UI Designer, passionate about technology and storytelling through different sensory experiences. My daily muse comes from the nuances of human interactions, designing and re-designing, and my relentless curiosity of a 5-year-old.

The Triforce of UX: Empathy, Curiosity, HumilityBrandon Ward
UX Consultants are great—like design ninjas dropping in to fix all the things. But what happens when you want to take the relationship to the next level and bring design in-house? How can you tell the good candidates from the bad, and sift through the good to find the great? How do you avoid someone who looks good on paper, but won’t deliver the results you need? In this talk I’ll share the 3 core qualities I seek in every designer I hire, and how to discover if your candidates have them.
2015 was an exciting year for HubSpot. In addition to launching several new products, the HubSpot marketing platform expanded to five new languages and got a major facelift designed to make marketer's daily lives easier. For businesses not ready to buy a robust marketing platform, we also introduced Leadin, a freemium app that allows you to capture leads and get lead intelligence on any website. You’ll find all of this and more in our 2015 HubSpot INBOUND Keynote Address.

• How to add what you’re missing
• What tools and resources to use in building it
• What’s a good (and bad) portfolio

THE UX INTERVIEW – 3 Quick Questions. 3 Short Answers.Marc-Oliver Gern

Gibt es in Scrum ein systematisches Vorgehen, die User Experience (UX) des Produktes sicherzustellen? Eine Möglichkeit ist, das iterative Vorgehen des User Centered Designs (UCD) mit Scrum zu verschmelzen. UCD bezieht den eigentlichen Nutzer der Anwendung von Beginn an in den Entwicklungs- und Gestaltungsprozess ein. Da sowohl Scrum als auch UCD in Iterationen ablaufen, liegt der Versuch nahe, Symbiosen zu erzeugen. Die Session zeigt Wege, diese zu finden, und geht auf damit zusammenhängende Herausforderungen ein.

The Best Sales Email Strategies for Upping your Response RateHubSpot
Have you had a moment when you're on a sales call and the person seems to be more excited about the purchase than you are? They cling onto your every word. They seem ready to throw their wallet at you.
But then they go dark. You make follow up calls and send follow up emails. But no response.
Here's how to avoid that scenario and follow up effectively.
S Ra P A Concurrent, Evolutionary Software Prototyping ProcessArnold Rudorfer
This paper defines a highly concurrent, software rapid prototyping
process that supports a sizable development team to develop a
high-quality, evolutionary software prototype. The process is particularly
aimed at developing user-interface intensive, workflow-centered
software. The Software Engineering Department and User Interface Design
Center at Siemens Corporate Research (SCR) have successfully
practiced this process in prototyping a healthcare information system
over the last year. We have evolved this agile, iterative software development
process that tightly integrates the UI designers and the software
developers with the prototype users (e.g., marketing staff), leading to efficient
development of business application prototypes with mature user
interfaces. We present the details of our process and the conditions that
make it effective. Our experience with this process indicates that prototypes
can be rapidly developed in a highly concurrent fashion given a
stable prototyping software architecture and access to readily available
domain knowledge.
Advocating for your users is key to project success. Kirsten Burgard and I show how, even developers can accomplish this via our process and case studies.
