De los videojuegos a los productos tech: lo que la IA no puede diseñar sola.

CAT _____________________________

És possible que
un producte digital t’emocioni si ningú ha pensat en com se sent al fer-lo
servir?

En un context en què la IA genera contingut, automatitza processos i optimitza experiències a gran escala, el repte ja no és només tècnic: és humà. Al final, algú ha de decidir quina història explica un producte, com parla i quin tipus d’experiència construeix. I això no ho fa cap algorisme.

En aquesta sessió, organitzada per la Facultat d’Humanitats de la UPF i the Human Element, parlarem de com la narrativa i les mirades humanistes estan guanyant pes en el disseny d’experiències digitals.

Conversarem sobre el valor del storytelling més enllà de la creativitat, la presència real de perfils humanistes en empreses tecnològiques i estudis de videojocs, i una pregunta cada vegada més present: qui dissenya l’experiència quan el codi deixa de ser el límit?

Agenda:

18:30 — Obertura de portes

19:00 — Taula rodona:

• Iñaki Diaz Acedo, Co-founder i Creative Director, Appnormals
• Maria Morras, professora titular d'Universitat de Literatura Espanyola a la Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Moderada per Daria Shornikova, Brand Storyteller & Communication Strategist

Properament anunciarem nous ponents.

20:00 — Networking

Idioma de l’esdeveniment: català.

Aquest esdeveniment forma part d’un cicle de tres trobades que volen activar un espai de conversa viva entre el saber humanista i la pràctica professional, connectant universitat i empresa per construir un futur més humà i sostenible.

Bologna Front End, Episodio 63:

• Come costruire e mantenere un design system?
• Come costruire una community attorno al design system?
• In che modo l' AI può supportare adozione e contribuzione?

Ce lo spiega Filippo Gianessi, Senior Growth Designer @ Yazio.

Il talk
Costruire un Design System è relativamente semplice; fare in modo che lo usi davvero tutto il team è la sfida concreta.

Filippo Gianessi racconta come in Yazio sono passatз da una situazione di caos a un metodo di lavoro condiviso, capace di accelerare il rilascio del prodotto e di mantenersi nel tempo.

Adottando il Community Development Framework (ispirato al modello GOV.UK), Filippo ha strutturato il Design System su tre pilastri:

• People: mappare i ruoli per evitare che il sistema dipenda da una sola persona.
• Programme: rituali ricorrenti e procedure (RFC, OKR) per distribuire la responsabilità su tutto il team.
• Platform: dove avviene la costruzione del DS, tra gli altri Design Tokens automatizzati per collegare Figma alla codebase e ridurre gli errori manuali.

In chiusura, mostrerà come l'AI — sotto forma di Custom GPT — abbia reso l'onboarding più accessibile, aiutando il sistema a restare vivo nel tempo.

Lo speaker: Filippo Gianessi
Filippo Gianessi è senior growth designer e design system owner presso Yazio, e startup mentor presso il Contamination Lab di Faenza.

Ha una formazione che attraversa il design industriale e lo sviluppo software, e tende a mantenere le soluzioni semplici, scalabili e accessibili — nel design, nel codice e nella strategia.

Si occupa di design system da lungo tempo, con un interesse che si è consolidato dopo la lettura del libro di Alla Kholmatova, con cui ha avuto l'opportunità di collaborare al suo primo workshop italiano sul tema (Bologna, 2018).

Quando non è in coworking a lavorare sulla crescita e sul design system di Yazio, lo si trova al Contamination Lab ad affiancare startup, o a qualche concerto DIY in giro per l'Italia.

Dove e quando
12 maggio 2026 alle 18.30 al Granata di via San Rocco 16 a Bologna.
Ingresso gratuito con tessera AICS che si può fare in loco e vale fino ad agosto 2026.

📢 Gamification in pratica
Hai mai pensato a perché Duolingo riesce a farti tornare ogni giorno? O come mai certe app riescono a trasformare comportamenti noiosi in abitudini quasi automatiche? La risposta è nella gamification, ma non quella dei punti e dei badge fine a sé stessi.

L'evento apre con un'introduzione di Fabio Viola, ideatore delle Playable Cards e pioniere della gamification in Italia, che racconterà la sua visione e il perché dello strumento. Poi Marco Segatto ed Edoardo Parisi (co-fondatori di ProjectFun, la prima community italiana sulla gamification) conducono la parte interattiva: quiz live, casi studio concreti e una demo pratica delle Playable Cards, il primo mazzo italiano per progettare esperienze di engagement.

Imparerai a ragionare come un game designer anche fuori dal gioco. E se lavori con team o processi complessi, scoprirai che molte di queste leve sono già più vicine al tuo lavoro di quanto pensi.

L'evento è interattivo: vieni pronto a partecipare, non solo ad ascoltare.

🎁Ai soli partecipanti verrà riservato un codice sconto esclusivo per acquistare le Playable Cards a prezzo speciale!!!

📅 Agenda
L'evento comincerà alle 18:00 dopo una breve chiacchierata tra le persone collegate.
18:05 - Intro di Fabio Viola (10-15 min)
18:20 - Evento interattivo con Marco ed Edoardo
19:00 - Q&A
19:15 - Chiusura

"Marcas portuguesas, design systems e AI pelo meio", com a curadoria de Ruben Ferreira Duarte

"É difícil imaginar a vida quotidiana sem os produtos e serviços digitais que se tornaram essenciais ao nosso dia a dia. Por meio destas soluções, gerimos as nossas finanças e realizamos todo o tipo de pagamentos. Lemos as notícias que marcam a atualidade. Estudamos. Procuramos emprego. Descobrimos novos relacionamentos amorosos. Relacionamo-nos com as escolas dos nossos filhos (e de vez em quando até lhes tratamos de pedir transporte).

São, por norma, produtos e serviços bastante complexos. Quer em termos tecnológicos, quer em termos de experiência. Soluções que requerem equipas técnicas especializadas e investimentos significativos. Os design systems são as fundações de muitas destas soluções. De forma muito simples, os design systems agregam todas as orientações estratégicas e técnicas para construir e evoluir estes produtos e serviços digitais.

O panorama dos design systems em Portugal tem evoluído de forma exponencial. Muito por causa do investimento significativo que as marcas têm feito neste campo e que muitos benefícios de escala lhes têm trazido. O estudo Mapa dos Design Systems em Portugal, nas suas edições de 2022 e 2024, prova isso mesmo. Um crescimento muito interessante da qualidade destes sistemas nas marcas portuguesas.

A conversa sobre design systems e as marcas portuguesas, realizada no âmbito da programação do Festival de 2026 do Clube da Criatividade Portugal, vai refletir, por meio de casos reais, sobre o cenário atual. Como tem evoluído o trabalho dos design systems em Portugal? Em que ponto estamos e o que se perspectiva para o futuro?

Pelo meio, claro que vamos também falar sobre inteligência artificial. Esta é uma realidade incontornável. Faz todo o sentido perceber como esta transformação tecnológica pode ajudar a potenciar ainda mais o pensamento sistémico dos produtos e serviços digitais, que os design systems tão bem protagonizam."

Ruben Ferreira Duarte, Lead Product Designer e especialista em Design Systems e Acessibilidade Digital

19:05 – Intro to LeedsPHP and Sponsors

19:15 – Building without barriers (a11y for backend engineers) – Andy Carter
Backend engineers rarely talk about accessibility. Often through a lack of awareness or a misplaced assumption that it is someone else’s problem. However, the systems we build can create hidden barriers for people with disabilities. In this talk, we’ll explore real backend scenarios where accessibility matters and learn how we can build more inclusive products.

Thank you to Estrato Cloud for sponsoring this event and to AutoProtect for hosting us in their office on the Leeds Dock 😁

It's Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) and as tradition has it, we're celebrating it with an extra big t12t meetup in Stockholm!

This time, we're hosted by SEB, in their super nice auditorium, wall-to-wall with Mall of Scandinavia in Solna.

Extra important this time

1. You need to bring your ID-card, or you don't get in! We're hanging out inside the security doors of a bank, so they'll probably not make any exceptions.
2. Doors open at 17:30. Talks begin 18:00. You will likely not be allowed in after 18:00, since their reception closes, so be on time!

Tonight's agenda
We'll be doing lightning talks, around 10 minutes by each speaker.

5 ways to get bosses on your side, from an accessibility lead perspective
Santino Mariano – UX and accessibility expert, Use It

Design system accessibility
Astrit Malsijaj and Joacim Magnusson from SEB:s design system team

Food:
We will be serving wraps and drinks. The wraps will be available in vegan, vegetarian and chicken options.

If you have any preferences when it comes to food or drinks let us know!
Email hampus@axesslab.com (or DM in meetup or on the t12t slack).

Accessibility:
All speakers will use a microphone. The venue has a ramp to get to the seats and stage.

Since it's an evening event, we may have to exit the building in another place than we entered, but we'll make sure that everyone gets information about this during the event and that it's wheelchair accessible.

We've added some photos of the venue to this meetup event page, so you can check it out beforehand.

We are aware that accessibility issues are diverse and there might be a problem that we are not aware of. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to Hampus Sethfors at hampus@axesslab.com (or DM in meetup or on the t12t slack) .

Photography:
It's ok to take photos of our speakers and the things we and they present on stage. But please ask before taking photos of other attendees.

Safety and inclusion:
We have a Code of Conduct that we expect everyone to follow.

Video:
We'll record the event and later publish it to t12t youtube channel 🎥 No live-stream this time.

Svenska:
Alla dragningar på scen kommer att vara på engelska. Om du känner dig obekväm med engelska så är du självklart välkommen ändå!
Det kommer att finnas gott om människor att prata svenska med.

We’re back! On May 21st, PuXu returns to Acato in Utrecht for a meetup dedicated entirely to Research.

Details:
So many of us have been there: hired as the UX expert but decisions are already made. Research is ignored, timelines are fixed and your role becomes delivery rather than direction.

So how do you actually practice UX when you don’t have influence?

This is a 1 hour roundtable discussion and thinking space for working freelance + solo UX/UI designers.

Come swap stories and learnings about:

• Times when you knew the right thing to do but couldn’t make it happen
• Where to find actual points of influence on a project (title, trust, timing, relationships)
• Small moves to shift decisions, even slightly
• When is it better to push… and when is it better to let go?

Plus "what do we do about it?", exploring:

• Concrete tactics for increasing influence
• A clearer sense of what’s in our control vs not

There are no presentations, invited experts or gurus just a lightly facilitated conversation among peers. Bring your own stories, frustrations and hacks. (And snacks.)

Who's it for?
Working freelance designers - or UX-ers working in a team of one - with real-world experience in delivery and client work.

❎ PRESENTATION DESCRIPTIONS ❎

Ashamed of the Prototype? Why We're Hiding JS Superpowers Behind Class Syntax - Jakub Brambor
Abstract:
For years, JavaScript developers have lived in the shadow of "class-based" languages, trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. We've embraced the class keyword as a security blanket, but are we sacrificing the language's true potential for the sake of gaining "architectural legitimacy"?
In this session, we will look past the syntax and dive into:

• The Identity Crisis: Understanding "class envy" and why we feel the need to mask JavaScript's unique nature with patterns from other ecosystems.
• The Mechanics Under the Hood: A look at how class is just a wrapper, and how its hidden complexity can lead to unnecessary coupling.
• The OLOO Pattern: Analyzing the pros and cons of prototypal inheritance to understand OLOO a cleaner, more natural alternative that aligns with JavaScript's true DNA.
• Why Classes Won: A pragmatic look at why we will continue to use classes despite their limitations.
• Reclaiming the Superpower: How to practically reintroduce prototypal inheritance into our workflows and advocate for JS's native strengths to make our code more flexible.

QA's Secret Menu: How Tiny Code Tweaks Eliminate JS "Silent Killers" - Yuliia Nowakowska
Abstract:
We all know the feeling: you push a new feature, the UI looks flawless locally, but then a brittle E2E test fails, or QA bounces the ticket back a day later because of an obscure race condition.

From Barriers to Bridges: Improving Web Accessibility with WCAG - Daniel Tate
Abstract:
This presentation explores the importance of web accessibility and how inclusive design benefits everyone, not just users with disabilities. It introduces key principles such as perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness, and explains how these concepts shape accessible digital experiences. The session highlights common barriers users may face—ranging from visual and auditory impairments to cognitive and motor challenges—and demonstrates practical strategies to address them. We will also cover elements of WCAG and how this framework helps guide developers in making more accessible content.

Speaker
Rahel Anne Bailie, independent Content Solutions Strategist

In this session, Rahel Anne Bailie introduces her Content Integrity Model, a new framework for content strategy that encompasses some of the important shifts we all need to understand for designing, managing, and scaling content today.

About the talk
The Content Integrity Model addresses the rapidly evolving needs of content in increasingly complex environments and is achieved through the interconnected dimensions of strategic direction, editorial practices, operational efficiency, all supported by a robust infrastructure. The model provides a new framework that considers content across these four interconnected dimensions. This framework helps organisations understand not only how content helps deliver strategic goals but also how editorial quality, operating models, and infrastructure work together to enable successful outcomes.

Join us to explore how the Content Integrity Model contributes to the overall ecosystem, and how these dimensions are intertwined. Approaching content integrity as a holistic system rather than a series of independent directions, organisations can build content environments that are more adaptable, more scalable, and better aligned with organisational goals.

The model shows the interconnectivity that serves end users while enhancing consumer value while enhancing organisational value and serving internal users. We will also look at the way search has changed and other fast-findability techniques so that internal teams can find content quickly, while strengthening discoverability through metadata and optimisation practices that help content perform at scale.

About Rahel
Rahel Anne Bailie is an independent Content Solutions Strategist. She brings with her a strong background in developing successful digital strategies, tackling the complexities of managing content for clients globally, with the aim of using content to deliver better user experiences. She introduced her content integrity model to address the rapidly evolving needs of content in increasingly complex environments. Rahel is a recognised thought leader; she was recently given the rare award of Honorary Professor at FH-Joanneum. She has been elected Fellow in two associations, having authored and contributed to several industry books, magazines, and academic journals. She presents at events worldwide and teaches in the Content Strategy Master’s Program in Austria. She publishes on Substack at content-seriously.com.

Charis Arnold will present «Klingende Werte», a project exploring data sonification in the context of multiple sclerosis. Charis will share the project's development, from initial concept to discovering data sonification through human data. The presentation covers the tools used, including TwoTone, Cavalry, and Google Sheets, and discusses future directions for making this work accessible to people living with chronic illnesses, as well as its potential applications in research.

AI has made it easier to move fast, but not easier to know what matters.

As design teams adopt AI into their workflows, the challenge is no longer just output. It is coherence: knowing what to automate, how to measure value and how to lead people through a shift that is changing expectations in real time.

On 27 May, Greg Kozakiewicz joins us for a practical talk on design’s next competitive advantage.

The session will look at the “60/40” ratio in AI-driven design work, and what it means for designers, design leaders, and teams trying to stay strategically relevant while everything gets faster.

We’ll explore:

• Why speed is no longer enough
• What the “60/40” ratio means for modern design teams
• How to measure design value beyond taste and output
• How business thinking increase design’s influence
• Where design systems fit in the AI era How to manage teams, expectations and ambiguity right now

This is not a portfolio talk. It’s a practical session for designers who want to understand where the work is heading, how to stay useful and how to turn design into a clearer business advantage.
