No matter your role or seniority, it’s critical to shift your mindset on “losses” and failure – from impactful cross-functional collaboration, to managing up, and cultivating a psychologically safe team.

With a portfolio across travel/leisure, financial services, food/beverage, healthcare and entertainment she has a diversified well of experience to share. She’ll highlight failures she’s encountered while shipping software in a client-facing, cross-collaborative environment and how those failures came to be leveraged to deliver great work. 

Whether you lead or contribute your team, you’ll leave with actionable strategies and tactics to help you transform setbacks into springboards for success.

Angil Tate

Senior Product Designer, WillowTree Apps

Angil is an Atlanta native who moved to Durham NC where she’s a Product Designer at WillowTree. Before WillowTree, Angil was a solo designer working with entrepreneurs and small businesses developing their brands, but a love for tech and complexity pulled her into Product.

She studied music in school only to discover that it was an uncertain career so decided to use her design skills to pay bills while she awaited her big break. Side projects for friends became big budget projects for small businesses and entrepreneurs when she realized she was in love with product and UX. The most consistent aspect of her work and story is perseverance. 

She loves FinTech, brunch, and Atlanta.
