Portrait Drawing Workshop
**Discover the Art of Portraiture: A Journey in 5 Lessons to Bring Faces to Life**
Have you ever wondered how to capture the soul of a person on paper?
Our drawing workshop guides you through the essential principles of seeing, feeling, and rendering the human face — helping you create portraits that are not just accurate, but truly alive.
🌿 Five intensive and creative sessions, in which you will learn:
* To observe the human face with the focused attention of an artist, not the casual glance of a passerby
* To understand the proportions and structures that make up a realistic portrait
* To experiment with light, shadow, and texture to create depth and life
* To express emotions and character through lines and shading
* To develop a personal style that unites technical skill with your own creative voice
This course is for anyone who believes in the power of the human hand to capture what a camera cannot — regardless of experience level.
Price:
**150€** for **5 sessions**
**105€** for **3 sessions**
**80€** for **2 sessions**

Humming Traditions: SODAI - Straw, Form & Wind
An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation.
🌿Limited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link:
https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind
🌿Date: 11th of March
🌿Time: 18:30—20:30 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo)
🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna)
Step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes.
You’ll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance.
By the end, you’ll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace.
To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care.
This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect — with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail.
🌿🌿🌿
Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience.
The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form.
Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

"It's all javascript".
Well you know it, typescript transpiles to javascript. Your templates? Also javascript.
Compilation and typechecking, you guessed it. Also javascript.
All the tooling was javascript until ... well when? Thats the question. 😇

Agentic UI with Angular: Implementing AI-powered Assistants
More and more frontends integrate Agentic UI and AI assistants that answer questions, display dynamic components, pre-fill forms, and guide users through processes. In this session, I demonstrate how to bring these capabilities into both existing and new Angular applications. We explain how to provide the necessary context via state management, forms, and routing, and show how the assistant uses tool-calling to access Angular services and generate dynamic UIs. After this session, you will know the technical steps required to extend your Angular solutions with a powerful AI assistant.

The Secret Life of Events in Angular
You've written (click) hundreds of times. But have you ever wondered what's actually happening behind the scenes? Angular's event system has a hidden layer — one that lets you do things most developers don't even know are possible. In this talk, we'll pull back the curtain, explore how it all works under the hood, and see how to apply this magic directly in your real-world projects.

All the terrible Angular hacks I had to do so you don't have to
Have you ever wanted to create a custom lifecycle hook for services in Angular? Or tried to use Angular’s DI inside an InjectionToken factory? Probably not, and that’s perfectly fine. I did, though, and it led me down a path of some truly strange Angular hacks. Maybe you’ll find them useful; at the very least, I promise they’ll be entertaining.

KI, Kognition und Burnout: Was tun, wenn Effizienz den Flow killt?
**KI, Kognition und Burnout: Was tun, wenn Effizienz den Flow killt?**
KI impliziert die Hoffnung, sich - von langweiligen Tätigkeiten befreit - endlich kreativen und spannenden Dingen widmen zu können. Jedoch häufen sich Sorgen um mögliche Nebenwirkungen: Begriffe wie **KI Burnout**, **KI Fatigue** und **KI Workslop** sprießen nur so aus Studien und Social Media Posts. In diesem Talk geht es um Zusammenhänge zwischen Burnout, Cognitive Load, Flow und den Einsatz von KI Tools - und um mögliche Lösungsansätze.
**Sabine Ballata** ist Co-Founderin von Kokoro ([www.bekokoro.com](http://www.bekokoro.com/)), wo sie Produktdesign und Strategie leitet. Über ihre berufliche Tätigkeit hinaus engagiert sie sich aktiv in der Design-Community und leitet seit Oktober 2018 den UX Vienna Book Club, um den Wissensaustausch unter UX-Praktiker:innen zu fördern.
