The program.

A practical look at finding useful design work in existing habits, materials and systems. The featured session has its own detailed page.

How to turn a broad concern into a research question, choose a method and recognise what the evidence can actually support.

Build one small interaction, put it in front of someone and observe where the explanation stops being necessary. Bring a laptop or a paper notebook.

A structured workshop on comparing proposals. Separate the decision from the presentation and make the trade-offs visible.

Type size, line length, sequence and emphasis: editorial choices that help people read instead of making them work around the layout.

Begin with the visitor’s task, set a performance budget and choose the least complicated implementation that can do the work.

An open conversation about briefs, constraints and working relationships. Nora, Mina and Ellis compare the decisions that make a project possible.

Close the two days with a practical reflection: one question, one small experiment and one conversation to continue.
