Sunderland Digital aims to bring together and enrich our burgeoning digital and creative community through a series of informal meetups and talks.

User-Centered Design

Join us in May for an evening of UX talks from Danielle Stone and Simon Clark.

How the world sees the web

First up we’re delighted to welcome back Danielle Stone, Lead User Experience Designer at JUMP.

As designers we often see things from our own cultural perspectives, making assumptions that others will interact with the digital environment in the same way that we do.

Taking the time to understand how our users around the world may use our products can help us avoid embarrassing mistakes, improve usability and ultimately build trust with our customers.

With tech companies leading the way, getting this right can also open up opportunities to engage with new audiences.

Confessions of an Optimisation Manager

Also joining us in May will be Simon Clark, Optimisation Manager at iProspect.

Simon will be sharing what he learned in his first year in Conversion Rate Optimisation—and why every digital creator should embrace UX, accessibility, and user-centric design.
