I had a fantastic time attending the UX Masterclass 2024, hosted by Digital of Things and UXalliance yesterday. It’s always inspiring to connect with both familiar faces and newcomers at these design events, and to hear insights from our clients on how the market is evolving. Two standout talks were from Katral-Nada Hassan and Adam Symonds. Katral-Nada’s talk on ethical design was particularly thought-provoking, especially her emphasis on the importance of considering ethics when choosing products or services. Her perspective on this through a FinTech lens was truly eye-opening. Adam’s presentation on recruitment in the design space was always going to get my attention. He highlighted not just the challenges of hiring but also the critical aspect of retention. Some of the statistics he shared really caught my attention, such as: 88.5% of Dubai’s population consists of expats. The UAE is home to over 200 nationalities, speaking more than 140 languages. As always, the evening of networking and engaging with industry leaders from around the world left me with fresh insights and excitement for the next design event. aspexx. #futuresdesigned #UX #digital
