Building with Intention: Achieving System Qualities through Design Choices

Technical and design decisions should be viewed as means to achieving broader system qualities rather than ends in themselves. This talk reorients our focus on the underlying goals of these decisions, exploring why we build the way we do, what we aim to achieve, and whether there are better ways to reach comparable outcomes. Through examples and case studies, attendees will learn to critically evaluate their design choices and understand the broader implications of their technical strategies.

"My mother will not use it"

In this Talk, I want to cover the different mindsets designers need to improve and optimize the work for web3. If we're going to change the way we interact with each other and aim to profoundly improve society with this technology, we can't think and use the same methodologies. We will cover topics such as the target audience (the title of the Talk), testing, the learning curve, web2 to web3, and more.

Rethinking usability in a world of data ownership

What makes something usable in a world where the internet is built on open source cryptography? This talk explores how we might consider choice a key factor in the usability of applications where we are owners of our data which we can port, wield, and disclose at our discretion with other data owners. I will illustrate how we are testing our hypothesis that cryptography can surface meaningful connections through demo applications that embrace choice as a key usability factor.
