When we talk about products, we’re really talking about people—their needs, their habits, and the experiences that become part of their everyday lives. In this SoDA Series LIVE session with Adobe, Luke Des Cotes, CEO of Metalab, will unpack what it takes to build digital products that not only work—but resonate. From shaping intuitive interfaces for category-defining brands to helping startups find product–market fit through design, Luke will share lessons from nearly two decades of building products that billions of people use every day.
