Joe Natoli
Joe Natoli has spent more than 30 years helping UX and product teams in large enterprises, government agencies and global organizations turn chaos into clarity — and friction into collaboration. He’s the founder of the UX 365 Academy and has taught over 400,000 students. He’s authored the bestselling books Think First and The User Experience Team of One (with Leah Buley). And most importantly, he’s a trusted partner to thousands of designers, product managers, engineers and executives around the world.
Joe has built three decades of career success on a straightforward, practical approach — no jargon, no fluff, no dogma — that helps people succeed in the real-world conditions no one prepares UXers and Designers for.
Friction to Flow
Designers and developers often share the same frustrations: being sidelined from "upstream" decisions and treated as mere order-takers. This disconnect persists because we often view each other through narrow lenses—one side as impractical, the other as overly rigid. In reality, both groups are usually struggling against the same lack of leadership support and poorly defined goals.
In this session, Joe Natoli shares actionable strategies to bridge this divide and move toward a unified workflow. You’ll learn how to foster a partnership based on mutual respect, allowing both disciplines to contribute strategically rather than just executionally. By aligning early, your team can move faster and create better products with significantly less friction.
