Kate Rutter - Cultivating a Culture & Career of Creativity

Kate Rutter shares her thoughts on finding work in a challenging economy, how to design for great creative exchanges, and why she pushes back against authority.

Highlights include:

⭐ How have you pushed back against overly rigid hierarchies?
⭐ Why did you take a part-time retail job at a retail store?
⭐ How does the quality of the question influence the quality of the idea?
⭐ Why isn’t UX overly kind to late career-stage practitioners?
⭐ How are great creative exchanges like great sex?

Who is Kate Rutter?

Kate is a Senior Adjunct Professor at California College of the Arts, where, for the past five years, she’s been teaching undergraduates creativity and storytelling, and masters’ students the foundations of experience design.

She is also the Principal of Intelleto, the consulting practice through which she creates and facilitates visual explanations that make complex ideas simple, memorable and shareable.

Before starting Intelleto, Kate pioneered the UX learning track at Tradecraft, an immersive learning program for product designers. She also co-founded the online education company Luxr.co, that helped early-stage entrepreneurs to find product/market fit.

During her 20 years in the field, she’s been a very generous contributor, including sharing her knowledge since 2015 through the “What’s Wrong with UX” podcast, which she co-hosts alongside her good friend, Laura Klein.
