Out in Tech #uiux: XHIBIT – Demos. Drinks. Happy Hour. (Feb 2023)

Oftentimes, we don’t see the design until it’s pixel perfect. But how exactly did it get there? With XHIBIT: Demos. Drinks. Happy Hour., we ask brave designers to be vulnerable, share their process (and maybe even share their secrets!)

In this Demos x Drinks series, we are featuring designers from different backgrounds and industries to share what they’re working on. So grab a drink, relax, and listen to our awesome speakers to exhibit their experiences while having a fun time. The goal of this event is to demystify “design” by diving into what goes on behind the scenes and maybe even discover new ways to how we solve and approach our design work.

This event will be interesting to designers and UX enthusiasts of all experience levels and those just getting started!

After the demos and talks, we’ll be having a happy hour to connect, network, and have fun. This event will be in Kumospace and is first come – first serve.
