Shantelle Liu

As we are in a global market, there’s more to winning over international audiences than just translating text into another language or simply updating UI components. Localizing your user experience design is about crafting cross-functional products with international UX in mind from the start of the development process. With extensive experience in UX/UI design and visual design, Shantelle Liu will share the most up-to-date insights and best practices of UX localization for a global audience.

Shantelle is the panel moderate for this event. The Customer Experience Research & Design from Viasat—a satellite-based provider of commercial, residential and government internet service—will discuss their process, hurdles and victories as they moved their design system from Sketch to Figma.
