Workshops
Joe likes to talk. He loves a good story, even when he’s not telling it. He started with guest lectures to design students before becoming an educator himself. Today he presents on the topics of AI, career paths, and UX at industry conferences, where he will occasionally host panel discussions or run workshops.
Diverge and Converge with focus
Sometimes, the best way to impact an organization or an individual career is by learning by doing. Joe has run the following workshops for between 12-300 attendees, including Product Managers, Developers, and (of course) Designers:
Design Thinking for Cloud Data Services, Debatecamp For Designers, Creative Career Planning, Creative Judo: Managing Pushback, Objections Management for Designers
Fortune 500 problem solving
Internal events or conferences benefit from outside-in perspectives. Joe has presented the following topics:
Artificial Intelligence + Design Outcomes, Career Paths + Design Thinking, Design Thinking for non-designers, Agile and Design Thinking, Design Thinking and Business Outcomes, and Applied Artificial Intelligence.
Serious topics delivered with a sense of humor
Lectures, presentations, panels, workshops--you name it, and Joe has done it for audiences ranging from a dozen to 500. He can run a playbook that scales and delivers, whether your event is online or in-person.
