Design culture is the result of how you act on your values and beliefs. In this talk, I will discuss the phases of building design culture in agencies, startups, and tech companies using examples from Square, Facebook, Airbnb, IDEO, and Twitter. I will discuss the responsibility of designers and the beliefs and behaviors that drive impact through design. By the end of the talk, you will have a sense for how get started with identifying and cultivating design culture in your own company or team.
