“Can you fix our UX?”

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax, NS

It's a question that inspired the name 20/20 Digital—and one with no simple answer.

With 24 years of experience in digital product strategy and design, Jamie reveals why UX success goes far beyond quick fixes or flashy design updates—it's about understanding how organizations work from the inside out. Drawing on real-world projects, Jamie will examine the three critical elements every successful UX initiative needs, explain why "it depends" is often the most thoughtful answer and share practical strategies for building digital experiences that stand the test of time.
