RSVP Now – Design Jam RDU This Friday @ American Underground

Hi everyone,

Just a quick follow-up to our June teaser:
Design Jam RDU is happening this Friday, June 21 at American Underground (Durham) from 2:00–5:00 PM, and we'd love to have you there.

🪑 This Month’s Focus: UX Leadership & Business Fluency

We’ll dive into what it takes for UX to earn its seat at the table—how we communicate value, align with business goals, and lead within product-driven cultures.

🎤 Special Guest: Jeff Wright

Jeff will kick things off with a short talk on his leadership journey building UX teams at iContact (helping lead to a $169M exit), Relias Learning, and other orgs. He’ll share real-world lessons on how design makes the business case for itself—and how language is everything.

💬 Format

This will be a more open discussion after Jeff’s presentation. Come with your questions, stories, and scars—we want to hear from the room.

🔗 RSVP Here

Whether you're managing a UX team or advocating for design in a product-led org, this session will resonate.

See you Friday,
James Gartrell
