**Meet likeminded UX professionals and experience a new way to ideate with a researcher at UAL.** Our next event is a bit different - one of our members, Mary, is working on her thesis project for UAL's MA in User Experience Design and is hosting a session at the university for us to try it out. She's built a card-based ideation method that uses visual symbolism and semiotics to trigger unexpected ideas - almost like tarot meets design thinking! There's also a custom AI agent she's developed that plays the role of an "idea psychic," helping you reframe problems and push past obvious solutions. She needs people to use it on a real brief so she can observe what works and what doesn't. You’ll get to try an unusual creative method and help shape a member’s research project, while also having the opportunity to meet and spend time discussing with other creatives. *** ​**The Details:** * **Location:** London College of Communication (UAL), Elephant & Castle, London SE1 6SB * ​**Capacity:** We’re keeping this to a small group to ensure everyone can connect and contribute.
