Hallo zusammen! Bei diesem neuen Meetup dreht sich alles um die Themen Code & Design – und die vielen Nuancen dazwischen. Wir diskutieren Trends, Potenziale und konkrete Beispiele aus den Bereichen Webentwicklung, UI/UX Design, Barrierefreiheit, Produktivität und Nachhaltigkeit.
In der Regel erwarten dich zwei Talks, gefolgt von einer lockeren Fragerunde und ausreichend Zeit im Anschluss, um neue Kontakte zu knüpfen und Erfahrungen auszutauschen.
Egal ob du Entwickler, Designer, Projektmanager, Quereinsteiger oder einfach nur auf der Suche nach Inspiration bist – wir freuen uns, wenn du vorbeischaust! Die Teilnahme an dem Meetup ist kostenfrei.
Bitte beachte, dass die Vorträge je nach Veranstaltung auf Deutsch oder Englisch gehalten werden. Weitere Informationen dazu findest du in der jeweiligen Event-Beschreibung.

Dev & Design Meetup #17

🎫 TALKS
🎙️ Creative Thinking in the Age of AI
Stephanie Weber, Head of UX Design (Fielmann AG)
AI can generate ideas, code, and content in seconds — but speed and probability don’t create meaning. As intelligent systems remove friction, creativity shifts from idea generation to judgment, decision-making, and intentional resistance.
In this talk, Stephanie Weber explores what it now takes to stay creative as designers and developers. Combining neuroscience and design practice, the talk introduces concrete principles for working with AI without losing originality — from delaying the first “good” answer to deliberately protecting human-only moments in the creative process.
🎙️ Making Math Audible – Designing Sound at Struggly
Björn Münker, Lead Frontend Developer (Struggly)
When designing a new product, we usually ask how it should look — but rarely how it should sound. Sound design is often treated as an afterthought, even though it plays a crucial role in how experiences feel, guide, and delight users.
At our math-learning startup Struggly, we made sounds part of the product from day one. This talk walks through our journey — from defining a sound language and implementing it in code, to tooling and performance — and shows how thoughtful sound design can actively support users, not just decorate the interface.
Both talks will be in English.
