UX @ UW

Is Design Broken? Let’s Talk About It. Join us Feb 20th at 6 PM for After Hours: A Conversation on What’s Wrong in Design with Ritesh Kanchi. ?? RSVP at lu.ma/sppicv19 or link in our bio! ??? We’re breaking down the real gaps in design—what’s missing, what’s misunderstood, and how it affects everyone, not just designers. Ritesh Kanchi is a UW senior in computer science and HCI, with 8+ years of experience designing platforms for hundreds of thousands of users. His research focuses on building smarter, more inclusive interfaces—and he’s got some hot takes to share. ?? ??? Expect bold opinions and take the chance to connect with curious minds across campus—whether you’re into design, business, computer science, psychology or just love a good hot take. ?? What role does HCI research play in decision-making? Why do so many “user-friendly” designs still frustrate us? Let’s figure it out together. ?? Open to all majors, designers and non-designers. Whether you’re into design, research, development or engineering, all are welcome! ? Feb 20th, 6-7 PM ?? MOR 221 See you all there!
