Sometimes new professional lessons come from unlikely places. In my case that place was playing Magic: The Gathering.
This conversation will focus on real world examples from both my professional life and experiences with Magic to illustrate what I’ve learned, how it can help others and how focusing on something other than the work leads to better work.
For 20+ years Magic has been the premier trading card game. It’s produced a universe of content as vast as Star Wars & Star Trek combined (and fans that are just as fanatical). And since the game is based on the player building their own deck, those that play the game need to be an architect, a strategist, a problem solver, a pragmatic decision maker and a player.
Over the last 2 years I've been a member of the Magic fandom. By filtering this experience through the professional lens of Digital Strategy & UX I’ve learned some important lessons that have made my work better, my career stronger & my life a whole lot funner.
