Hands-On UX Design for Agentic AI
Summary
2026 is the year AI goes fully agentic. UX needs to catch up—or risk sinking with the Figma Titanic. This hands-on workshop is your lifeboat, where we will sketch our way to survival through the stormy waters of agentic AI. Using pencils, sticky notes, and an LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), we'll prototype autonomous agents using RAG, digital twins, and value matrices. Forget perfect pixels. This is low-fidelity, high-velocity UX for AI. The ship is sinking. Let’s design our way out.

"details": "Leading the charge as Director of UX at LogicMonitor, Daria steers a dynamic global team of designers and researchers who are on a mission to deliver the best, most useful, most usable observability platform in the world. Before this role, Daria led digital strategy at Marquette University, where she drove digital branding and marketing initiatives and oversaw the people, the processes, and the technology that powered them. Daria brought human-centered design to every role she held, whether designing, developing, producing, or leading, because the work has to work for the people it’s meant for. Her superpower — and kryptonite — is getting cross-functional teams together to solve messy problems in new spaces — so she is eyeball-deep in UX for AI (and AI for UX) right now.",
