| Topic: |
Doing good work in a fast paced engineering environment at Google
|
| Abstract: |
Projects at Google move fast with small teams. Jake will talk about tactics the user experience team uses to have the maximum impact—even when there isn't enough time.
Jake will share the process and tips & tools that have helped his team. For instance, using "Getting Things Done" with Gmail and Google Calendar to keep organized, how to give effective presentations, and how to conduct a UX workshop with your team.
All this, and more, will be crammed into one hour. Cause we love compressed schedules!

| Bio: |
This month’s talk will be presented by Jake Knapp, UI designer at Google.
Jake grew up with the tall northwest trees, which he tried to copy in his six foot seven, and a half, frame. His family was happy to stop buying the groceries when he left home on Orcas Island for the UW. After school it he was off to Microsoft and Oakley. Now he’s entertaining, encouraging, and inspiring his teams at Google.
