Paul Merrell from Meld Studios kicked off the day with his talk spoke about the importance of context in the pandemic. He was followed by
Narendra Ghate who spoke about AI & UX through some real world video examples, I was able to connect the most with an example he gave using autonomous cars. Then came
Brad Nunnally (who is also giving a
masterclass, a poll in the conf showed his topic was the most liked) spoke about designing for tough problems, he took an example of Wright Brothers and explained problem solving.
Post a quick break, we had Sourabh who presented a case study his studio worked with a startup ‘Workomo.’ Anshumali spoke about Voice UI and some principle behind designing it. Prashanth spoke about designing for a billion users using some very cool examples of how some companies like Atlassian and Microsoft design for inclusivity.
Bill explained a tool/method called Experience Scorecard using aspects like usability, emotional experience, design, and brand. Bill was followed by Sherline who was an amazing story teller, she just narrated a story without the use of any visual cues! To end day 2, Priyanka/Trace came in to talk about design systems at Facebook and spoke about building an inclusive design system.
I tried to summarise the day as best as I could. For more you got to wait for the recording!
