#5 - semiotics ideation worskhop
Details
Meet likeminded UX professionals and experience a new way to ideate with a researcher at UAL.
Our next event is a bit different - one of our members, Mary, is working on her thesis project for UAL's MA in User Experience Design and is hosting a session at the university for us to try it out.
She's built a card-based ideation method that uses visual symbolism and semiotics to trigger unexpected ideas - almost like tarot meets design thinking!
There's also a custom AI agent she's developed that plays the role of an "idea psychic," helping you reframe problems and push past obvious solutions.
She needs people to use it on a real brief so she can observe what works and what doesn't. You’ll get to try an unusual creative method and help shape a member’s research project, while also having the opportunity to meet and spend time discussing with other creatives.

Who is this for?
Our events are for UX designers, researchers and other strategic and creative thinkers who are passionate about using their skills for social good, not just profit. Please note that this is not a networking event, or a place to find a job.
