Check-in. * 18:30 - 18:45. Bienvenida de [Voxel](https://www.voxelgroup.net/). * 18:45 - 19:30. Haciendo explícito lo implícito: De la inercia heredada al Playbook con IA con [Gabriel Mártires](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielmartires/) (charla en castellano) * 19:30 - 20:15. Nuestro viaje por el greenfield con [Eli Maruenda Joya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elimaruendajoya/) y [Anna Romagosa Rovira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-romagosa-rovira-01b0a7a2/) (charla en castellano) * 20:15 - 21:00. Cierre y Networking. **🙇‍♀️ Facilitan** * [Gabriel Mártires](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielmartires/) *Software Engineer at Voxel, an Amadeus company.* ¿Haces arqueología o ingeniería? A menudo, los equipos trabajamos bajo "normas implícitas" que nadie cuestionó, lo que genera una confusión constante sobre cómo desarrollar y una carga cognitiva brutal. En esta charla, veremos cómo romper la inercia del "aquí siempre se ha hecho así" mediante acuerdos de equipo y documentación ejecutable. Descubre cómo usar la IA como guardiana de estos pactos para delegar las decisiones repetitivas y volver a centrarnos en lo que importa: diseñar y resolver problemas complejos. ¡Hagamos explícito lo implícito! * [Eli Maruenda Joya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elimaruendajoya/) *Engineering Manager con casi 10 años de experiencia en el desarrollo de productos digitales, con background como Software Engineer y liderando equipos en los últimos 6 años.* * [Anna Romagosa Rovira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-romagosa-rovira-01b0a7a2/) *Product Manager con más de 9 años de experiencia liderando productos digitales en sectores regulados como agua, medioambiente y energía, trabajando con equipos multidisciplinares en entornos complejos y cambiantes.* Construir un producto desde cero no es tan fácil como parece, sobre todo si lo haces en un sector regulado, con deadlines exigentes y sin conocer bien el dominio, lxs stakeholders ni a lxs clientxs. En esta charla explicaremos cómo lideramos la transformación de un proceso de facturación en un contexto greenfield: pasando de decisiones basadas en intuiciones a apoyarnos en datos, construyendo la confianza de stakeholders escépticos y adaptándonos a los cambios de estrategia, todo ello mientras alineábamos un equipo grande, con alta seniority y con visiones diferentes sobre el "cómo", sin dejar de tomar decisiones y entregar valor. Una historia real de aprendizajes, errores y decisiones en incertidumbre… con algo de humor por el camino. **🏢 Dónde** Voxel\, Carrer de Cristóbal de Moura\, 115\, 1a planta\, Sant Martí\, 08019 Barcelona \| https://maps\.app\.goo\.gl/fuQb3sSfeupGAQae6 *Si tenéis problemas para llegar o acceder, contactad a través de comentarios en el meetup.* Queremos agradecer a nuestro sponsor, [Voxel](https://www.voxelgroup.net/) 🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos 🍲 🍕 🍴🥤🧃 ¡Nos vemos allí!

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.

**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to an event hosted by [Mews](https://developers.mews.com/) at Barcelona Finance Hub by Aticco.. **Integrating AI into Design Workflows** The conversation around AI often swings between hype and fear. The reality is much messier and more interesting. In this talk, we learn from a Product Designer at Mews how AI has become part of her everyday design practice, helping shape concepts, challenge assumptions, speed up exploration, and support decision-making. Through real examples, we’ll explore the opportunities, limitations, and open questions that come with designing alongside AI. **Speaker** **[Soraya Coreana](https://www.linkedin.com/in/soraya-c-68ba9211b/)** is a Product Designer at **Mews**, where she designs solutions across B2B and B2C environments to elevate the guest experience in hospitality.

**En esta charla veremos el estudio de un caso real: añadir un directorio de empresas a una página web existente, desarrollada por terceros en WordPress con Elementor. El cliente solicitó primero la creación de un directorio de empresas y luego la ampliación de este directorio con un acceso restringido a los usuarios registrados, así como la firma de un acuerdo de confidencialidad.** Veremos cómo interactúan entre ellos varios plugins (GeoDirectory, UsersWP y otros) para conseguir funcionalidades avanzadas y una interfaz profesional sin la necesidad de desarrollo a medida, pero sí con la ayuda de algunos snippets de código (escritos por la IA y el soporte técnico de los plugins usados). Este caso de éxito real se puede adaptar fácilmente a cualquier tipo de directorio online, por ejemplo anuncios inmobiliarios, restaurantes, sitios turísticos, etc.
