Join us for an evening of wine & cheese and learning at Galvanize’s WINE NOT series for entrepreneurs.

Designer Laura Rillera knows the ins and outs of helping her clients go from a vision of the future to a fully realized product or service. She’s also no stranger to affinity diagramming, which helps software designers understand the business, user, and developer goals that become the base measurement to determine a project’s success.

She recently set out to determine whether this workplaceprocess could be used to measure personal success. With affinity diagramming as the backbone of this exercise, Rillera organized and prioritized all of her goals. Then, she came up with action plans.

This WINE NOT session will take attendees through their own personal UX evaluation, applying this successful framework that Laura created in a quest to improve her quality of life.

Attendees will come out of this session with:

1. A personalized set of their own goals and a repeatable system for surfacing, organizing and prioritizing them.
2. A data kit for tracking progress.
