Full-day workshop

with Vitaly Friedman

Not much can surprise us when it comes to interface challenges. We can design a decent card, a well-rounded accordion and an exquisite hamburger navigation. But what if there are slightly more complex UX challenges ahead of us?

About this workshop

Complex UIs don’t have to be complicated. In this workshop with Vitaly Friedman, UX consultant for European Parliament and creative lead behind Smashing Magazine, we’ll dive deep into dissecting how to solve complex design problems. Whether you’re working on enterprise-grade tables or complex multi-page forms, this workshop will give you the techniques and tools you need to excel at your work.

For who?

This workshop is for

UX designers,

inferface designers,

front-end designers and

developers

My superpower is that I’m extremely average.

I can almost sense if something isn’t right. I might not be able to point out what exactly is wrong, but if I experience some issues, probably most people will, too.
