Tech & Design Meetup – Who Doesn’t Have ADHD?

### Who Doesn’t Have ADHD?

Design. Tech. Diagnosis. Welcome to the neurodiverse future.
From self-diagnosis TikToks to workplace neuroinclusion, neurodiversity is no longer a niche conversation. It’s the cultural moment we’re living in. But what does it really mean when everyone seems to have ADHD? And how can design and technology help us make sense of new identities, new systems, and new ways of being?

Join us for a thought-provoking edition of the EHV Innovation Café featuring:

· Designer–researcher Ieva Valule on mental health, media, and algorithmic identity
· Neuropsychologist & inclusion expert Renée Malone on building workplaces where neurodivergence can thrive

Together, we’ll explore the friction between diagnosis and design, technology and selfhood — and how embracing difference might just be the most innovative act of all.

Whether you're a tech builder, designer, recruiter, educator, neurodivergent individual, or curious thinker — this is your space to listen, learn and connect. The Future Is Neurodiverse.

Whether you're a tech builder, designer, recruiter, educator, neurodivergent individual, or curious thinker: expect sharp insights, personal reflections, and an open, safe space for conversation. We are Inclusive by Default and Give to Grow.

Moderated by Charlotte Grün

Ieva Valule – “I scroll and grind, therefore I self-diagnose.”
Based between Amsterdam and Berlin, Designer/researcher Ieva Valule creates bold, satirical work that reflects on mental health, media habits, and identity in the age of cognitive capitalism. Her graduation film Y’all Got adHD (Design Academy Eindhoven) critiques ADHD as a new cultural marker, blending speculative storytelling with personal research. Ieva was nominated for the Kazerne Design Award 2025.

Focus: algorithmic dependency, self-diagnosis, identity, storytelling
