The day kicked off at the main stage learning about AI and the future of Design. Ovetta Patrice Sampson, Director of UX Machine Learning at was awesome. Draw More!

The following session Everything everywhere all at once: designing for edge case by Yung-Ching Chiu, Senior Product Designer was 😆.

Emerging thoughts on AI assisted design with Kathryn Gonzalez and Jane Davis was awesme.

🎉✨ Config: 's Conference. SESSIONS ✨🎉

Designing for the evolving needs of society was one of the top tier sessions I enjoyed with my friend and conference partner in crime Netty ().

Speakers Carina Lim and Rachel Tan () recapped their work with the government and the tremendous products they launched that impacted the residents of Singapore. Breaking down their process and the many iterations made all for the good of their population of elders during the pandemic.

While Yuka Miyagi addressed Japan's rapidly growing aging society and how to empower seniors to use tools. Though physical limitations affect the elderly, acknowledging these while designing is necessary. Yuka also explored how conversational AI can function as a universal interface.

The speakers were so kind to chat with us afterwards ❤❤❤

A good README.md file can instantly tell viewers the project's purpose. But of course, adding some extra flair can push a simple README file into becoming a useful reference document.

Chances are, you are not your users.
UX Truth Hurts by Katherine Delorme

Why apps great 'til they gotta be great?

I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% that UXer
Even when I'm crying crazy
Yeah, I got UI problems, that's the designer in me
Click Click, then I solve 'em, that's the UXer in me
You coulda had a bad b***h, non-committal
Help you with your products, just a little
You're supposed to ideate
But you're building in code
And that's the sound of users leaving your app

Why apps great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't push code, before you even ideate.
Teammate sat me down to do card sorting
iterate, test, before prototyping
Designing with the bomb software
New version ready for the dev team
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom bom bi bom bi dum dum, ay.
