UX Beyond the ScreensWORKSHOPS
Angela & B Tuban
Founders, Priority Studios
B and Anj have led design projects inside a) a conglomerate, b) in digital agencies and c) in a startup. This means they’ve both tried, and failed, then learned how to adapt design and product strategy processes to a whole range of team types and industries.
They chose to focus on what they love and started their own consultancy, Priority Studios - helping businesses build data-driven digital products that Filipinos would gladly use. They teach teams, conduct research and execute design, with — they hope — as little BS as possible.
