Crafting quality that endures
- Theme:Keynote
- Topic:Scalability
- Topic:Collaboration
When we build tools, we shape environments that will in turn shape us—and at Linear, Karri Saarinen has championed quality as the foundation, not an afterthought. In this talk, he'll share lessons from Linear's journey of prioritizing craft over process: the tools and approaches that elevate creativity, the challenges of maintaining quality at scale, and how designers can implement these principles regardless of their current environment. For those who find their vision constrained, Karri offers a compelling alternative: designers aren't just craftspeople but potential founders, capable of building the tools that future generations will thank us for.
