Making Etsy Mobile
Changing the course of a company and it’s driving culture can be a very difficult task.

Lara Hogan accepted that task when Etsy began transitioning it’s desktop experience to a mobile experience.

Taking a web app and a business mobile can force organizational changes that while a little painful, are absolutely necessary.

Giovanni spoke with Lara at BDConf about how she managed these changes for Etsy, how she adjusted their internal design process and how she got the right people to buy into responsive.
