Airbnb Design in Beijing

You can’t innovate on products without first innovating the way you build them. Given that what we create is ephemeral, the part of our work that can last is how we build. This philosophy includes how we grow our teams, nurture our design culture, and the tools that we create and share with our community. This is how we keep the transient visible. By investing in a better way to build at Airbnb, we’re bridging the gap between disciplines and freeing up time to apply creativity to solve larger complex challenges.This talk explores how rethinking the way a design organization builds can increase speed, foster collaboration, and ultimately lead to innovation.
