To sketch or not to sketch.

If "to sketch or not to sketch" is the question, we think you should sketch. In your UX practice, we mean! Cindi and Mike will discuss how sketching is key to constructing rock-solid user experiences. This is definitely not one to miss! Takes place at 7:00pm on August 10th at Bay View Brew Haus (map).
