“…Of course, the translation between the sketch and the rendering is in turn mediated, and thus translated, by other possible configurations, for instance the configuration reconstructed "mentally" by the user and then the one articulated by the constraints and opportunities provided by the 3D modelling software. Or, take the passage from a brief to a sketch: it can be mediated by the configuration created by the set of products similar to the one mentioned in the brief found through a research on the internet (Ventura and Ventura 2015). Or, take the passage from a mock up of a seat to the prototype: it can be mediated by the configuration created by various materials and the body of a craftsman who is in charge of finding the right material and tries them out on his own body (Parolin and Mattozzi 2013).…”
Prototypes are useful beyond usability testing; they're a strategic tool to drive alignment, to communicate value and vision, and to get digital products built correctly in a more efficient manner. They help teams move quickly by making instead of swirling in ideas. Through her work at IBM and currently as a Creative Director at the digital product design agency, argodesign, Kathryn Marinaro has found that the best practical uses for prototypes are for qualitative and strategic purposes. In this keynote, Kathryn will share her experience creating and utilizing prototypes to generate ideas with subject matter experts, to understand resonance and value with endusers, to explore new interaction models for emerging technology, and to communicate visions to stakeholders who control the direction of a product. She'll share examples of prototypes used throughout the process of the programs she leads and their outcomes and impact. Prototypes aren't just for testing, they're for delivering value.Kathryn Marinaro is an award-winning Creative Director who envisions the future and develops products and strategies for a wide variety of clients at argodesign. She is the author of Prototyping for Designers, published by O'Reilly, and has employed user-centered methodologies to create and iterate on impactful experiences in health wearables, AI interaction patterns, AI image recognition and training interfaces, and cloud development tools, while working on world-class design teams like IBM Watson Visioneering and IBM Mobile Innovation Lab. She has gained recognition as one of Austin's Top 50 Female UX Designers and as part of the Advisory Board for the inaugural Austin Design Week. She's been featured in articles in Fast

“…Exploring sustainable design theory in interdisciplinary teams supports a process of "verbalizing a visual representation" of design project strategies [11]. Students applied their theoretical knowledge of ecological and sustainable design to the resilient campus design problem by reflecting on the theoretical underpinning prior to pursuing design solutions.…”
