Design for real users: Build Actionable Personas by Matthias Klenk
Gather user data and translate it into actionable insights and develop realistic and relatable user personas. This workshop was really important because personas are not a subject that is widely studied. Most designers learn it in generic ways and don't fully understand what it means or the value it brings to the product. This workshop was a real game changer.

📌 Eunoia UX + Simon Fraser University
Eunoia UX Design Jam 2024
At Eunoia, I delved into a week-long design sprint, collaborating with other early-career designers on real-world design briefs from actual clients. It was an immersive experience where I could improve my design skills and also make new connections and share experiences. ✨

Diving Into Design Tokens by Jordan Yep
This interactive workshop looked at the different properties that make up design tokens and challenged participants to create tokens with semantic to avoid creating an overload of tokens. It was a nice teamwork experience, and I could talk to people who apply these techniques in their everyday work and learn a lot.

VDC Wintertime Social Vol.2
It was an enriching experience, exchanging design insights and making new connections in a cozy setting. Job hunting can be exhausting for juniors, so this event was especially refreshing. I could meet new people, share experiences, and it was pretty nice talking with other fellow designers who are in the same situation.

Understand the best interview techniques for extracting meaningful user insights and distinguish between effective and ineffective interview questions to ask the right ones. It was a really great hands-on activity, and I met a really good friend of mine that day.
