Talk

Making UX value visible: how to present design workso decision-makers actually understand the impact

Designers often create meaningful impact, but struggle to make that impact visible to non-design stakeholders. As a result, UX work is undervalued, misunderstood, or seen as execution rather than strategy.
This talk focuses on how to frame and communicate UX work in a way that highlights business value, not just process or outputs.
The session will cover common mistakes designers make when presenting their work, how decision-makers interpret design narratives, and practical ways to connect UX decisions to outcomes.
