What is DiNG?
Design and Innovation Nottingham is :

The aim of DiNG is to provide an opportunity for people who share our curiosity for design and innovation to meet and share knowledge and experiences. Our hope is that people will have an enjoyable time learning and supporting each other and leave with at least one practical idea they can apply to their work.

Sana Fatima Sayyed
Can good design help save the planet?
UX Designer Sana Fatima Sayyed will uncover the hidden environmental impact of digital design and explore how UX choices, big and small can help build a more sustainable future.
Sana's experience in crafting human-centred solutions that create lasting impact, strong foundation in design research and passion for sustainability combine to ensure this will be an eye-opening session about the environmental cost of clicks and scrolls and the role of UX design in tackling complex challenges like climate change.
