Design Patterns For Complex UIs and Enterprise UX
Full-day workshop • Monday, September 6, 2027.
Complex products don’t have to be complicated. As designers, we need to shape UX to maximize clarity and reduce confusion — especially when designing for legacy-ridden environments, B2B systems and complex domains.
In this workshop, we’ll cover practical design patterns and real-life examples for multi-level navigation, complex data tables, live filtering, search and autocomplete, actionable dashboards, multi-page forms, and a whole lot more. -

Design Patterns For AI Interfaces
Full-day workshop • Thursday, September 9, 2027.
As product teams race to include AI in all products, they often feel bolted on, disconnected, generic, slow, inaccurate, wasteful. The responses are generic and users have to meticulously articulate their intent to AI interfaces, with the burden often being kept on users’ shoulders.
In this workshop, we’ll explore shiny new design patterns for better AI experiences — with daemons, clustering, style lenses, structured presets, agentic UX patterns and templates, dynamic editing, temperature knobs and everything in-between! Plus, a design process on how to integrate AI to increase reliability and build user’s trust.
