The way the visual design of the WordPress theme development cycle used to run in the pre-Gutenberg era needs to undergo significant change to unlock the efficiency made available by Gutenberg. By educating designers about Gutenberg constructs such as block styles, block variations, block patterns, global style variations, and reusable blocks, we can bring designers and developers closers, thus reducing turnaround time on projects and improving quality.

In this talk, I will explain how design could be used to solve problems for customers and grow business.

Yes it’s great to get a new UI, yes it is great to deliver a better customer experience but most important is that the design must serve the customer’s needs and the business goals. And if you are missing either of those ingredients it is just a fresh coat of paint and it doesn’t really matter.

I will address this with some real examples and how thinking from a different perspective could lead to a great outcome for customers and business.
