Drawing from her experience across design\, front-end development\, and developer advocacy\, she brings a unique perspective on how developer s can strengthen their skills by thinking like designers.\n\nIn this sessi on\, Kathryn will explore how UX and UI principles can improve web develop ment\, from creating more usable and accessible experiences to making stro nger design decisions. She will also discuss how learning design fundament als can help developers collaborate more effectively and differentiate the ir skillset in a competitive tech market.\n\nYou will gain a better unders tanding of how design thinking can complement your development skills and help you create more thoughtful\, user-centered projects. The session will give you practical ways to look beyond simply writing code and consider t he people\, needs\, and experiences behind the software you build.\n\nBrin g a project you are working on and put your design thinking to work! Follo w along with Kathryn as she shares practical ways to consider UX\, UI\, ac cessibility\, and visual empathy in your own development work\, and bring your questions as you think about how these ideas can improve your project s.\n\nJoin us on **Friday\, September 18 at 1 PM PT \\| 3 PM CT \\| 4 PM E T** and save your spot now to discover how design thinking can give you a developer’s advantage.
