Have you ever felt the pull toward work that's more socially impactful? Marc Rettig did. After decades in corporate design, he followed that pull into something entirely different — long-term co-creation with communities, working to shift deeply ingrained social patterns. In this free Rosenverse live session, he traces that journey for anyone feeling the same pull and looking for guidance on possible first steps. 🎟️ Sign up for free: https://lnkd.in/eBA6WetU #UXDesign #Design #SocialImpact

What happens when AI stops being a tool and starts being a colleague? That shift is already underway, and designers are figuring out how to work with it in real time. Join Christian Crumlish, Erika Flowers, Ben Jackson, and Adekunle Oduye at #DwAI2026 as they explore how designers are inventing new ways of working with AI agents, from AI chiefs of staff to full production crews. Together they'll speculate on what the agent shift signals for designers today, and how we can prepare for what comes next. Be part of the conversation June 9-10. 🎟️ Get your tickets: https://lnkd.in/eNXKtj7S 📋 View the full program: https://lnkd.in/ejG6KQwh #AIconference #artificialintelligence #UX #genAI

Last week I was lucky enough to find myself in Paris speaking on a monumental issue: The ongoing erosion of our privacy online and what we as UX designers can do about it. I’m tremendously grateful to FLUPA UX Days for their invitation. to attend their conference, where I met someone wonderful, whipsmart people in the French-speaking UX community, who were kind enough to welcome me to their event, despite my lack of any observable skill in speaking their language. While there, I also was fortunate to exit the Metro at just the right moment to witness … Triomphenge? Thanks to all who attended my presentation and for the kind feedback, too. If you’d like to learn more about online privacy and both advocating and designing for it, I’d heartily recommend picking up a copy of my book. And I hope to return to Paris soon! 🇫🇷 📕 You can purchase my book directly from Rosenfeld Media or other online booksellers. https://lnkd.in/eVEp8Eh5
