 
"Pluck Success From the Mouth of Failure"Henry Ford once said that "failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." User experience designers can employ Ford's idea to improve their craft by learning how products failed in the marketplace when the determining factor was experience design. In his session on "Why We Fail," Victor will share case studies from his forthcoming book "Why We Fail" to illustrate what teams actually built, how the products failed, and how we can learn from that experience. Victor started his career in information technology, building systems at the Boston Consulting Group, DDB Needham, and others. His design work with the Southern Poverty Law Center has won several awards. Mobile Hackathon for Social Good
