Welcome to the Berlin design lab 🇩🇪

We're a friendly bunch! We are a community of designers that get together to talk shop, share ideas and designs, and get to know one another.

🏆Raffle & Giveaways
Thanks to our sponsors at Sketch we will be giving away two FREE Sketch licenses and a FREE conference ticket in a raffle. Show up, collect your raffle ticket and the winners will be announced at the end.

Do you want to donate or gift something to the community for a raffle? Maybe a conference ticket, maybe some lush stationery, maybe a puppy (only joking, puppies are for life, not just for raffles). Then give us a shout and we'll add it to the raffle.

⚡️Talk: Dark Patterns and Ethical UX

When we talk about digital design, what do we mean by confirm shaming? Or a roach motel? Or privacy zuckering? These and many more are examples of bad design. On purpose. We call them Dark Patterns. In this talk, I want to share with you the interdisciplinary recipe that got us here and reason up from first principles through a historical perspective. Lastly I will offer my suggestions for better understanding our choices, both as people and designers.

Speaker: Andrei Stroescu

My background is a mix of music studies, computer science, business strategy and web development. I learn about seemingly disparate domains in order to find unique insights. Curiosity and a passion for observing how people think led me to UX design - which I see as a placeholder for almost anything related to a digital product.

⚡️Talk: Future Mobility and User Experience.

Showcasing Transportation Disruption and Concept Solutions of the New Age with the User as a Key-Player. New Transportation Interior Solutions for Highly Automated Mobility as well as holistic User Experience Design.

Speaker: Sofia Lewandowski

You can ask the group and further the conversations in the social after.
