18:00 — 21:00From product questions to leadership decisions, with Ana Paula Barquet, Lead Research Manager at getolo. When Psychology Meets UX is an event series for UX designers and product thinkers curious about the human side of decision-making. Ana Paula will walk through three moments where the research lens had to widen: a solution request reframed as friction points rather than a new app, a customer journey stitched together across teams, and a market-entry study for pet insurance in a new country. You'll leave with a sense of how to widen a question without losing the evidence, and how to bring options to leadership rather than conclusions. After the talk there's a short facilitated session, then networking over food and drinks. - Follow-Up Change als Chance für Kreative12.10.26

- BPD#45: Why Human Judgment Matters More Than Ever15.10.26
18:00 — 22:00Join us for a talk by Breno Frias, former Head of UX at N26, on taste and how to actually build it. Taste has become Silicon Valley's word of the year – OpenAI's president calls it a core skill, Paul Graham says it's the only differentiator left – yet almost nobody explains how to build it. Breno makes the case that taste is a practice with real exercises behind it, the same ones that trained painters' eyes for centuries, adapted for people who design software. Doors open 18:00 at Dayone, talk starts 19:00, Q&A at 19:45, followed by networking, food and drinks until 22:00. Organized by Berlin Product Designers Meetup under Berlin Design e.V. - Fireside Chat with Aleksi Perälä – XD Network x ikiiNew15.10.26
