Some just learn the basics of HTML and CSS, but some (like me) get addicted and go a little further.\r\n\r\nThis addiction isn’t a bad thing. Using technologies like Sass & JS is a great way for designers to validate their user experience and interaction design solutions. Designing a product is more than how it looks --it’s how it functions when users interact with it. The like tools like Sass and JS, make it easier for designer to prototype with real data and have an application that can be tested with real users.\r\n\r\nEarly in my career, before I knew how to code, I was creating a lot of mockups that I would spent months on and then pass to the developer. But I felt something was missing within this design process. Not until I learned how to code….and to do it quickly, was I able to see a the deficiencies in the UX and interaction design of a product. \r\n\r\nAfter spending years designing sites and applications with static design comps, I felt that this process made sites stagnant and unintuitive. I realized after I learned Sass and lately Javascript, I became addicted because it gave me the power to design and test out my solutions and gave me the experience to communicate with the developers that would build my design.\r\n\r\nThe audience will learn:\r\n- How Sass + JS can be used to test UX & Interaction design solutions\r\n- How learning Sass + JS improve process and relationship with developers\r\n- How it can speed up the the feedback process with product owners, stakeholders and clients\r\n\r\n\r\n## Speaker Info\r\n\r\n* Name      : Adekunle Oduye\r\n* Location  : New York, NY\r\n* Contact   : adekunleoduye@gmail.com\r\n\r\n##### Social Media:\r\n\r\n* Twitter   : [@adekunleoduye](https://twitter.com/adekunleoduye)\r\n* GitHub    : [@adekunleoduye](https://github.com/adekunleoduye)\r\n* Url(s)    : [adekunleoduye.com](http://www.adekunleoduye.com/)\r\n\r\n##### Bio:\r\n\r\nAdekunle Oduye is a Product Designer at Nasdaq OMX, where he’s part of 30 person team designing web-based products that serve communications, public relations, and investor relations professionals.
