App Monetisation Without the Misery

App Monetisation Without the Misery: Designing apps to maximize revenue ethically, without ruining the user experience

Presented by UX/UI Designer, Katherine Donald.

App monetisation is essential for sustainable products.
However, when done wrong, it can undermine trust, and chase users away to a competitor. Join us as we explore monetisation strategies, their trade-offs, and how to generate revenue while building trust and loyalty.

Every second week, we open our doors - and our discussions - to a handful of curious minds who want to dive deeper into the world of product creation.

Our Sketchy Ideas sessions explore everything from research best practices to stakeholder management, design-to-dev handovers, presentation skills, and more. The focus leans towards design and analysis, but touches on any skill essential to building great products.

About the Sessions:

• When: Every second week, 4:30–6:00 PM (please log in or arrive by 4:20 PM to get settled)
• Where: In-person at Monkey and River (details provided on confirmation), or join online
• Format: Interactive discussion and knowledge sharing - not just lectures! Bring your thoughts and questions.
• Guests: We allow up to 5 guest attendees per session.
• Perks: Light snacks and drinks provided, and you’re welcome to stay afterwards to chat and network.

Who Should Join?
Anyone interested in product creation, design thinking, research, analysis, stakeholder management, or innovation! You don't need to be a designer — just bring your curiosity.
