The user experience design discipline is stagnating at a dangerous time. Its core mindsets, methods, and tools have been successful over the last decade, but are becoming poorly suited to the challenges of 2015 and beyond.


Jan Šrůtek, specialist adviser: “There is probably no one single digital designer that influenced my thinking and my design practice as much as Cennydd. I don’t like the term thought-leader, but I wouldn’t hesitate to say that Cennydd has been a thought-leader for me over the last couple of years.
What I like about Cennydd’s approach is that he always focuses on a particular subject and explores that domain diligently, reflects on it, and then shares his insights with the community. He cares about where our industry is moving and about the designer’s role in the society at large.”
