In this session, I talk about how anyone can start practicing leadership, no matter what point you’re at in your career. Through the lens of a UX crafter, I talk about leadership qualities, goal setting, and how to balance growing leadership and technical skills together. I talk about how leadership skills can help you today, give you ideas for your next one-on-one with your boss or mentor, and offer a sneak peak at some of the new challenges that await those who move into management roles (spoiler - management is just one form of leadership!). It’s easy to confuse leadership with just a title and step in your career, but when we reframe it as a set of skills we can learn, it suddenly becomes a lot more accessible, relevant, and maybe even inspiring for those looking at developing themselves in new ways. As we learn about new tech, tools, and creative opportunities, let’s take some time to invest in how we communicate, grow, and can have new impact on our work.]]>

Many teams may have a front end developer among their ranks, but besides a title or area of responsibility, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact craft of front end development. Expertise in web technologies is a good start, but we can't forget the users we actually build for. This talk will examine the impact of the front end on User Experience. I'll talk about how becoming more fluent across more UX concerns like content and user research can help front enders make better decisions, can bring more clarity to our craft, and result in building better experiences for our users.]]>

As a discipline, front end development (FED) has recently seen enormous growth with new focus areas like performance, design patterns, build tools, and frameworks emerge and mature. There’s a lot of new excitement for all things client-side, but how do these new technologies fit alongside a traditional Engineering team and an existing code base? At Shopify, we’ve been exploring the dynamic more closely as our FED team continues to grow company-wide. In this talk, I will share my perspective on how FED can work alongside other disciplines to form robust, creative product teams at scale. Shared tools like coding standards, processes, and style guides, can make it possible for all developers to confidently build UI, while specialist FED build those systems and solve unique use cases. By investing in in tools and process, we’ve been able to find common focus for our team and a stronger understanding of our role across disciplines.]]>
