See all- Shape your future self - with Jason MesutNeeds location
Designers are facing an identity crisis. Put in the same boxes, on the same career ladders and on the same paths, we risk never realising our true potential. In this session, Jason Mesut invites you to reflect on yourself through some of the tools he has developed, to help you recognise your unique shape and forge a future path just for you.
Jason will unveil the latest visual frameworks he has been developing and using over the past 19 years. Helping design teams, leaders and designers to reflect on their careers, understand themselves better, define their unique profile and sharpen the focus of their future path.
Discover how these frameworks can help you:
- Gain a broader understanding of your capabilities as a designer, leader, and manager.
- Unlock and connect with your unique potential.
- Direct your personal and team development.
- Enhance team cohesion and strengthen individual identity within your organisation.

- Sketching user scenariosNeeds location
(Details on venue will be published as we get closer to the event).
From zero to sketching simple, but expressive people to tell our users’ stories.
When we are designing technology it’s easy to get super focussed on the product itself, the flows, screens and design details and slightly loose sight of the actual people that will use the product, how they go about their day, in which situations they might encounter our product and how it fits into their lives.
Sketching user scenarios is a great way to escape this trap. It allows us to empathise with our users by telling their individual stories. It can spark new ideas how our products can improve real-world situations and it’s a great tool for presenting high level concepts in an engaging way.
In her interactive talk / mini-workshop Eva-Lotta will give you a lightning fast introduction to some simple fundamental sketching principles that will enable everybody in the room to start sketching what our users do and feel. All you need is some paper and a simple pen or two (an additional colour is always a plus) and and a little bit of courage to overcome the (false) idea that you can’t draw.
