Growth has been the default modus operandi for so long it is almost unspoken. This talk challenges ‘growth-default’ along with other ‘defaults’ that inform product and design: masculine default, northern hemisphere default, english defaults etc. It is a call to action to challenge the utility of defaults that inform our work. In this talk, Ruby will draw examples from across the globe and show products moving beyond our current paradigms as well as those stuck in default thinking, while arming you with the tools you need to think differently about product design. It will cover things big and small that we can all do to create better products that align with more inclusive values.

When we talk about love, we often think about romantic connections or the ties between a parent and child.However, love, in its expansive nature, is much more than that. In a world that’s getting busier and more chaotic, understanding ourselves better and learning how to love ourselves is more important than ever. This workshop’s core extends beyond the mere representation of happiness; it dives deep into understanding its sustainability outside the bounds of traditional markers. As more people in our society veer away from materialistic consumption, recognizing and championing innate, lasting sources of happiness is crucial. By fusing data-derived knowledge with empathetic design principles, we’re prompted to help people surrounding us reconsider and reshape our understanding of joy.
