Home Themes Events Speakers 2024 Calling all Design Leaders, Let me take you back to 2008—the year I embarked on my journey as a community creator. Everything was going well, and within just a few months, we became a strong community of over 4000 members. But fate took a dark turn when an individual decided to derail our purpose by turning the group into something unrelated and inappropriate. It was disapointing to witness the community I built become so tainted, and I had no choice but to step away. Fast forward to 2011, and I found myself in a new country—energized to connect with South Africans in Madeira. We grew 600+ strong and when I organised a picnic in the mountain, we filled the entire campsite. I stood by the entrance excitedly welcoming people and everyone asked about Jose while ignoring me. Who was Jose? Jose was a guy who started telling everyone that he had founded and organised the group and picnic. Well, forward to today and here I am aware that a handful of people in my network are reaping the rewards of my efforts. The thing is, these are people who take other people's ideas because they are too disinvested to ideate. I am intuitive and care about my network. I listen, I watch. When I create an event or activity, it's because I have spoken to the people. I have heard them, and I have seen and acknowledged their strengths and thoughts. But then you get the copy cats, who not only copy you but they try to devalue at every opportunity, they ignore your offer for collaboration and they compete with you by messaging your your community with their activities strategically scheduled to force a choice. The nuisance is the hoohoo haha collectives catch and convince others USING YOUR STOLEN WORDS AND IDEAS. For the awareness week, I would love to hear from design leaders who might be interested in talking or presenting on this topic, and related topics. Every day I see posts incentivising people to steal like artists. This is utter garbage. I see posts promoting idea theft as if it were some form of art. It's time to dispel this notion. Idea theft is not a sign of creativity; it's a symptom of uninspired, apathetic individuals from all walks of life. So, how do we deal with this? How do we protect our ideas, encourage collaboration, and build an inspiring, respectful environment? Design Pro Defence - Empowering Designers for Tomorrow Join us for a transformative series of events under the theme "Design Pro Defence" - an initiative dedicated to equipping designers with the tools they need to thrive in the ever-evolving world of design. Discover strategies, skills, and processes to withstand industry challenges and foster resilience in your creative journey. From protecting your rights to building strong teams and advocating for ethical practices, these events are designed to empower designers like never before. < Back Speakers Candice Storm Identity Experience Consultant - Design in Focus | Randstad UX Learn More Christelle Pillot Founder of the Freedom Catcher Academy - Life and Career Coach for Women - Speaker - Author Learn More Jon Deragon Head of Design | Host of the Design Variety Show Learn More Lieke Beelen Founder/CEO Learn More Trine Falbe Chief Consultant.

Up Up < Back Jim Ekanem Freelance Digital Designer | Connector | Activist | Mentor/Mentee About Jim Work I am a Digital Designer based in Amsterdam and specialise in UX Design. As a Freelancer, I conduct expert reviews of my client's digital interfaces and create app and website designs in Figma and Webflow. In addition, I give design advice to non-profits in my network to increase the impact of meaningful initiatives. In my Blog on Medium, I share knowledge, experience, and my opinion about design & ethics with my peers. Next to these work endeavors, I mentor young designers in my network (a.o. on adpList). To this day, I have greatly benefitted from mentorship at different stages of my career and made it a principle to return the favour (Each one, teach one). Being a mentor has afforded me to reflect and learn even more, to help others, and to foster reliable, collaborative relationships in the field of design. Professional background In the past I've had the opportunity to gain a diverse perspective on the discipline of UX Design. Working in a fast-paced corporate environment in Germany, I got skin in the game at the intersection between Interaction Design and Service Design. I then went on to pursue my master's in Human Computer Interaction at Utrecht University practicing academic research for 2 years while graduating at a medium-sized company as the sole UX Designer. As a freelancer I currently develop my skills beyond UX by focusing more on creativity and visual experiences. Personal As a sports enthusiast and former football player at Spain Soccer Academy, I value ambition, consistency and adopting a growth mindeset. In addition, I strive to consume sustainably and foster real life social connections and experiences. I have a great interest in mental and physical wellbeing, and like sharing my experience and enthusiasm with the people around me. I've been passionate about building regenerative communities for a while and started several fitness communities during my 3 years in Utrecht. The underlying motivation being, that the way we do and perceive fitness in our society is focused solely on the individual and tends to harm us as a collective. I believe that fitness should be social, playful, and outdoors to bring us more in touch with ourselves, each other, and with nature. Validating this idealistic concept and having made it come to life as a brand called 'FlowingFitnessNL', has afforded me the peace of mind to stop the initiative, do less, and channel my energy in one place. Since August 2023 I focus on my freelance design business full-time with the aim of using my platform and my voice to advocate for ethical design. About the Event Join Jim's talk as he critically examines the 10 Usability Heuristics by Jakob Nielsen and presents their limitations in today's rapidly evolving technological and societal landscape.
