Productontwerp is voortdurend in beweging. Nieuwe tools, nieuwe verwachtingen, nieuwe manieren van werken. Om bij te blijven, moet je leren van mensen die er op dit moment mee bezig zijn, en niet pas achteraf erover lezen.
Daar is de Product Design Meetup voor bedoeld. Drie lezingen door professionals die vertellen wat ze in de praktijk hebben geleerd. Een zaal vol ontwerpers en ontwikkelaars die ernaar streven om beter te worden in wat ze doen.
Warwick Kay
Design leader at Miro
Warwick has worked in design for more than 20 years, across SaaS, enterprise and consumer products. Before joining Miro, he led teams at Booking.com and at a mix of startups and agencies. At Miro he now leads the work on customising Miro for organisations.
In his own words: "I lead teams that turn ambiguous, complex problems into products people return to. I prioritize trust and ownership, then focus on creating and defining opportunities for my team."
Talk: How design and AI mix
As AI becomes part of the design process, where does human creativity make the biggest difference?

Melanie Daveid
Experience Designer at Nothing
As an Experience Designer, Melanie works across technology, physical products and human behaviour. Her career has taken her through eBay, OneFootball and Adobe, with a focus on design leadership, interactive art and creative technology. She loves turning complex ideas into tangible experiences, drawing inspiration from art and culture and exploring how technology can become a little more human, and a lot more fun.
Talk: Make Things. Ask Questions.
Melanie shares learnings from a non-linear career across product, technology and creative design. She'll explore what really matters when designing, from curiosity and craft to navigating ambiguity and developing your own point of view, with a glimpse into speculative design and imagining what could come next.
