Diego Zaks - Designing the fastest growing startup ever

Imagine joining an early stage startup as the first senior designer and within a few years, it becomes the fastest growing company ever.

Well… that's the story of Diego Zaks who is now the VP of design at Ramp.

  • Why velocity is the key to quality
  • The impact of “truth seeking pods”
  • How Diego creates a culture of collaboration
  • What it takes to be a great founding designer
  • The #1 trait Diego looks for in design candidates
  • How Diego has changed the way he gives feedback
  • How designers are empowered to make strategic calls
  • a lot more…
