We talked to 100 design leaders and asked them 3 simple questions that revealed extraordinary insights about design past, present, and future. We will share what they had to learn the hard way, pass on their words of wisdom, and peak into the future of design. Fun, informative, and inspiring — this is the design session you won’t want to miss at SXSW!
