INTERACTION DESIGN FOR DECENTRALISED SERVICES
Blockchain technology promises a new wave of opportunity for technologists and end users alike. But with that come a new set of behavioural paradigms that interaction designers have to help users adopt. This talk introduces some of those paradigms and outlines the nuances that require new thinking from our community.

LOLA OYELAYO-PEARSON
Although a self-confessed geek, Lola spends most of her time putting people ahead of technology. With a wealth of experience as a UX specialist both in-house and agency, she ensures user-centred research and design are at the centre of all her work.

Lola operates at a strategic level, helping organisations to see the bigger picture and mitigate their "me too" tendencies. She helps define meaningful, impactful and tangible product visions which they can actually execute. As an advocate for digital transformation, she has spoken broadly on how to create resilient environments for incubating design and agile delivery practices.

At the moment, Lola is leading Product and Proposition at the blockchain startup Chainspace. Her work is focused on the emergent practices of design and research around decentralised technologies.
