We’re back from our vacation break! Summer’s leaving us slowly, but worry not, there is a season of exciting talks ahead.

At our September meetup we will dive into the topic of how designers and technologists can brace for the future developments of our medium.

Dafna Sharabi will tell us about how her design team at the Wix Studio approaches trend research and Alper will give us an example of how he built a Conversational UI prototype for adolescent mental health. To wrap things up we will learn from Kristina what challanges her team at Zalando has to overcome to make e-commerce truely Mobile First.

Designers in the Lab

Designers in the Lab is the story of a team of designers from the Wix studio, who embark on an adventure in the unknown territory of trend prediction. In this talk Dafna will explain how designers view the world, how this view effects their approach to research methods and trend prediction, and how adapting work methods from different industries can help you inspire the future of our own.
