Talk

Creativity and Constraints

Creativity flourishes under constraints (iambic pentameter anyone?). Nothing has more constraints than UX work: business requirements, needy users, creaky CMSes . . .

I'll talk about how to measure creativity - both its outputs and its value, using examples from my own work as well as work from other industries. I'll also discuss the creative process, and how to be creative even when your hands are tied.
