A complimentary working session on the positioning strategy most studio owners never put down on paper. Most creative founders position in reactive mode, describing capabilities, listing services, or defaulting to generic language rather than defining exactly who they exist for and what gap they close that no one else does. The session covers an interactive exercise on one of these topics: positioning architecture (the structure beneath the language), category-of-one positioning (carving out a space based on a specific expertise or approach), the gap you close rather than the work you do, and messaging clarity across touchpoints. This is part of a series on pricing and financial architecture for founders who are ready to be recognized as the obvious choice inside a growing solo practice or studio with a team. Format: 45-minute working session (virtual). Hosted by Rea Stamatoulakis.

Six disciplines. One raw snapshot of the creative force shaping Berlin's design scene. Berlin Design e.V. invites guests to the grand finale of DesignDays.Berlin — stripping away the industry noise to gather the voices, hands, and minds driving the local ecosystem forward. Six short perspectives across diverse design fields converge on one stage: no polish, no puffery, just sharp, distinct angles on how the city builds, thinks, and breaks rules. Speakers: Raban Ruddigkeit (Kreativität), Kristina Wedel/The Boys Club (Graphics), Teferie Tafesse/brot & salz (Brand), Silke Parnack/wirDesign (Digital Product), Konrad Jünger & Verena Kühn/juengerkuehn (Product), Adrien Hobt/Gentle Systems (Creative Research), Lukas Treibenreif/obj.studio (Spatial).

Was hält uns kreativ und lebendig, wenn vertraute Wege nicht mehr weiterführen? Bei Ignite #22 sprechen Anne Meekers und Diane Hielscher über Verbundenheit, Trauer, neue Perspektiven und den Mut, die eigene Karte neu zu zeichnen. Diane Hielscher (LifeXLab) stellt fünf Säulen für ein gutes Leben und Arbeiten vor – Verbundenheit, Sinn, Autonomie, Präsenz und Energie – mit interaktiven Übungen. Anne Meekers spricht über Transformation, Rebellion und den Umgang mit Tod und Trauer. Veranstaltet von Ignite, offizielles Mitglied von Berlin Design e.V., im cocreation.loft.

Join 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.
