Mary Lukanuski — Addis Studio

Who are our real clients – the end users or those who pay us? How do we serve our employer’s business needs and brand while creating the most elegant user experience/IA? What happens when our employers have a different vision of the “user experience”?

Mary Lukanuski will explore the contractual, ethical and practical difficulties of serving two masters. She provides insights from her experience and offers a philosophical approach from which we can create solid work and meet our clients’ needs.
