She uses sketching and visual thinking for brainstorming, capturing and explaining ideas and building shared understanding and empathy within the teams. She teaches workshops on visual thinking and storytelling for non-designers and creates visual summaries of different things she learns, from tips on public speaking and UX design techniques to space facts.

Davin Granroth joins Tim Keirnan for a discussion of a structured design review method. This way to critique a design obtains maximum useful feedback with minimum pain to people's feelings. Tim refers to it now as "The Granroth Review Method" but Davin is quick to thank some writing professors at Michigan State University for the concept, which Davin has adapted well to our UX professional needs.

You can read about this method over at Davin's blog:
