Not everyone is ready to walk into a room Don Draper style and say 'This. Or nothing'. But its our job to sell the best solution to even the toughest crowd, and you can still do plenty of convincing without the ego overload. A little bit of psychology and a persistent stream of client collaboration go a long way. Well break down the process for keeping clients engaged and explore tricks for getting past obstacles in the approval process.]]>

This talk was originally going to be called Effective Collaboration Between Designers & Developers, but when they sat down to create their slides, David (developer) and Mindy (designer) realized they had deeper issues to resolve: he wanted to generate them with a custom templating engine; she wanted drop shadows and vector images of Che Guevara. Instead, they made a list of all the things they just cant stand about their web counterparts. Youll be enlightened as to why your co-worker glares at you when you walk in the door and come away with a few good ideas on how to communicate, empathize and avoid bloodshed.]]>

I consider myself a jack of all trades, and design for all mediums. Ive been working as a professional web and graphic designer for over 8 years. I am currently a web designer at Viget Labs. I'm into great design that adheres to web standards. I also freelance on occasion; it keeps me on my toes. I love to work, and I love to learn new things. Im definitely more workaholic than slacker. But when Im not working I can be found snapping photos, listening to obscure music, and improving my sewing techniques.
