A hands-on workshop on how to translate brand strategy and identity into coherent, meaningful UX/UI design decisions. This workshop explores how branding and UX/UI intersect, and how designers can move beyond aesthetics to create digital experiences that feel coherent, intentional, and emotionally aligned with a brand. Rather than treating branding as a visual layer added at the end, the session reframes it as a decision-making system that shapes how interfaces look, behave, and communicate. Students will learn how brand values, personality, and tone influence visual choices, interaction patterns, and microcopy, and how to apply this thinking in real UX/UI projects. The workshop combines a concise theoretical foundation with practical exercises, helping students develop a clear mental model they can reuse in future projects. **Who will benefit from this masterclass:** * UX/UI students * Designers who struggle to connect branding with interface design * Anyone who wants their digital work to feel less generic and more intentional **Key topics:** * Why “good-looking” interfaces often feel generic * How branding actually works in digital products * The hidden role of emotion in UX/UI design * A practical framework to design consistent, on-brand interfaces * Turning abstract brand ideas into concrete UI decisions * Avoiding common UX mistakes caused by over-styling or under-branding * Designing digital products that feel intentional, not assembled By the end of the workshop, you will have a stronger foundation for designing digital products that are not only usable, but also expressive, consistent, and meaningful. **What to Prepare / Bring** * A laptop * Access to Figma (or similar design tool) * Basic UX/UI knowledge * No prior branding knowledge required. **Your instructor:** **Ivi Monteys** **Brand Strategist at PÁNICO ESTUDIO** I’m a branding and visual designer working at the intersection of strategy, identity, and digital design. My work focuses on helping brands translate their core values and personality into clear, coherent visual systems and digital experiences. I work with global projects, companies, and organizations on branding, web design, and digital identity, with a strong emphasis on clarity, consistency, and emotional coherence. My approach is pragmatic: reducing complexity, cutting noise, and turning abstract ideas into concrete design decisions. This workshop reflects how I approach real projects bridging branding and UX/UI through behavior, intention, and design logic rather than trends or decoration.

**Invitation** **We are the instruments.** A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play. This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way. Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions. Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next.

🙈 **“Yo no voy a karaoke porque canto mal…”** Error. El karaoke **no es un concurso de La Voz**.

El karaoke no es solo para cantar, es para soltar el estrés y pasar una noche diferente. 💃🕺 😅 **“Me da vergüenza…”** Pues justo por eso deberías venir. El karaoke es como una terapia divertida: cantas, gritas, te liberas… ¡y nadie te va a juzgar porque todos estamos igual! 👉 Piénsalo así: si te pagaran por cantar, tendrías que hacerlo bien. Pero aquí eres tú el que paga, así que cantas como quieras. Desafinado, fuerte, bajito, solo o con coro improvisado… ¡todo vale! 🙌 🌟 **El karaoke es el mejor evento del mundo** porque convierte las penas en risas, la timidez en fiesta y las canciones en recuerdos inolvidables. ¿Listo para vivirlo? 🎤💥 Ven a cantar y compartir tus canciones favoritas!!!

Then come to **laugh, cheer for your friends, dance, and enjoy the good vibes**. Karaoke isn’t just about singing — it’s about letting go of stress and having a different kind of night out. 💃🕺 😅 *“I’m too shy…”* That’s exactly why you should come. Karaoke is like fun therapy: you sing, you shout, you let yourself go… and nobody judges you because we’re all in the same boat! 👉 Think of it this way: if someone was paying *you* to sing, you’d have to be good. But here *you’re the one paying* — so sing however you want! Off-key, loud, soft, solo, or with an improvised choir… it all works! 🙌 🌟 Karaoke is the best event in the world because it turns sadness into laughter, shyness into a party, and songs into unforgettable memories. Are you ready to live it? 🎤💥 Come sing and share your favorite songs with us!!! 🎶 **Every Thursday at 20:00** we meet in the **Private Verne Room** for a unique karaoke night.

For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

# **Band: Old Possum's Menagerie; Caller: Richard Ades** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
