Copenhagen 2023 - Trembling before 1,000 of the best designers in the world at Design Matters '23
Bridge the Value Perception gap
Design Matters 2023 - Copenhagen - September 2023
One the biggest audience so far, at the leading Design conference in Europe. I had a blast demistifying what it means to actually be a professional designers, and give tips on stakeholder management. I never had so many folks reaching out to me after a talk. The experience that folks at DesignMatters put together is truly amazing. It was great to also connect with so many talended speakers. Till next time!
The talk focuses on a pattern we see a lot today: products that work, especially with AI, but struggle to make their value clear to users. Teams ship fast, add features, iterate on UX, yet users don’t quite “get it,” don’t come back, or don’t build habits.
We talk about why this happens, how unclear product decisions (not execution quality) are often the root cause, and how teams can move from early ideas or MVPs to products people genuinely want to use.

This talk attracted the biggest audience ever at the leading Berlin Designers Meetup! ❤️
My colleague Dima and I did not just tell the story of how we organised and run our latest field study, but also give the audience a glimpse on its effect on product development. The audiece left with tons of practical tips and an actual a real case study based on a real project.

This was a joint talk with my friend and colleague Srecko catered towards junior professionals.
The core takeaway of the talk was the importance of constantly learning and evolving our skillset as Designers. To make our point, we spoke about hyped technologies, visual design trends and gave examples from our career paths.

After 2 years of evangelising UX and Research at Zattoo, I took a step back and reflected on what worked and what didn’t. As a result, I packed some examples and suggestions in a brief talk.
My MSc’s thesis was super-interesting. I got to prototype a physical device that added real time sound to people movements. The reason? Discover the effect of sound feedback on human behaviour. I shared my experience with the crowd of UCD London. If you’re interested give the case study a shot.
To promote Zattoo’s Design System (Hyperion), the design team organised an internal event with keynotes. I was one of the speakers. I talked about design, designers and how a Design System can make a team more efficient.
