How I Learned to Start Caring and Love the User

"Force your developers to switch roles with you & guide them through a task. Open the box with them to understand UX & your users."

A presentation about teams, UX and how to involve everyone, mainly your developers, to build better solutions for your users.

I share a few tips on what worked on me, a developer, to start understanding the user and user journey to build better solutions with the team.
