**What is DiNG?**
Design and Innovation Nottingham is :

* a regular, in person meetup for people interested in the design and development of products and services
* an evening of practical talks and discussions about design, research and innovation
* an informal and inclusive space to learn and discuss
* a free event with free food!

The aim of DiNG is to provide an opportunity for people who share our curiosity for design and innovation to meet and share knowledge and experiences. Our hope is that people will have an enjoyable time learning and supporting each other and leave with at least one practical idea they can apply to their work.

**Speakers and talks**

**Can good design help save the planet?**
UX Designer [Sana Fatima Sayyed](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sana-fatima-s-17016a62/) will uncover the hidden environmental impact of digital design and explore how UX choices, big and small can help build a more sustainable future.
Sana's experience in crafting human-centred solutions that create lasting impact, strong foundation in design research and passion for sustainability combine to ensure this will be an eye-opening session about the environmental cost of clicks and scrolls and the role of UX design in tackling complex challenges like climate change.

**The closer you look, the more complex it gets - lessons from a decade researching government services.**
User Researcher [Michael Brown](https://www.linkedin.com/in/usabilitymichael/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/usabilitymichael/") has delivered a wide range of user research projects for different UK government departments and NHS digital. He will share some key lessons learned from his public sector work including:

* Issues faced when designing complex systems for use by the general public
* Challenges of working within UK central government services
* Insights from thousands of user research sessions using dozens of methods
