Product Design

This week’s Hexperiment explores the idea of “containers of the self” — the skins, shells, and digital vessels we inhabit as we move through online and offline worlds. We’ll look at how identity is shaped, stored, transmitted, and transformed across different containers: • physical bodies • social roles • digital profiles • symbolic membranes • creative outputs The session begins with a short opening prompt inspired by Dispatch #2, followed by open discussion and a focused deep‑dive on one participant’s idea. No preparation needed. Just bring curiosity and a willingness to examine the structures that hold you.

## 🚀 Designing at Scale: Kako se gradi aplikacija za milione korisnika Kako izgleda dizajnirati i razvijati digitalni proizvod koji koristi milionska publika? Na ovom fireside chatu sa Jovanom Blažićem zavirićemo iza kulisa Yettel aplikacije — od početne ideje i vizije, preko korisničkih istraživanja, UX odluka i timske saradnje, do izazova koji dolaze sa skaliranjem proizvoda u velikom sistemu. Pričaćemo o tome kako se balansiraju potrebe različitih korisnika, kako se donose odluke između estetike i funkcionalnosti, kako izgleda rad u cross-functional timovima i kako se meri uspeh dizajna u praksi. Dotaknućemo se i uticaja AI-ja na rad dizajnera i product timova, kao i budućih planova za razvoj aplikacije. Ovo je prilika da iz prve ruke čujete lekcije, greške i uvide iz rada na proizvodu koji svakodnevno koristi ogroman broj ljudi. 🚀 📅 **23.04.2026** 🕕 **18:30 - 21:00** 📍 **ICT Hub, Kralja Milana 10, Beograd** *** ## 🎙 O predavanju Pričaćemo o: * kako se dizajnira proizvod za različite tipove korisnika * balansiranju estetike i funkcionalnosti * saradnji dizajnera, developera i biznis timova * donošenju odluka u kompleksnim organizacijama * kako se meri uspeh dizajna u praksi * uticaju AI-ja na dizajn i product rad *** ## 👤 O spikeru **Jovan Blazic** je Digital Product Designer sa više od 10 godina iskustva u dizajnu digitalnih proizvoda u telekom industriji.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
