Eugen Azcoaga & Aroshine Munasinghe
Eugen is a Product Designer at Doktor.se and has worked with product design for the past ten years. He gets his kicks out of solving complex design challenges and user problems, always guided by insights and working in tight collaboration across functions. His tendency for systemizing everything has made design systems thinking a natural part of his approach to product design.
Aroshine is a UX researcher at Doktor.se. Over the past 6 years, she has combined coding, UX design, and UX research. Her core strength lies in product and UX research, a combination of shaping business strategies and user insights using mixed methods. Aroshine has always looked to pursue opportunities that stretches her comfort zone, and continuously widen her perspectives by being curious in building relationships and creating impact throughout the organisation.
Workshop #2 @ 2/12 9:00-10:15
Lotta OlkinuoraHead of Customer Success @ LeanLab.coMixed methods for user research: How to combine effectively qual and quant through the Design journey.
Combining effectively qualitative and quantitative is critical to build better experiences. However often we fall into the 'trap' of using only the most familiar method (often either qual or quant) which limits the different perspectives we can bring on to the design table. In the workshop we will discuss pros and cons of different techniques and how to use mixed methods across the design journey from user led ideation and iterating concepts down to testing and launching products and services.
Lotta Olkinuora
Lotta has a 15 year long background in mixing qualitative and quantitative research techniques across more than 200 different CX and Digital development projects in the UK, Nordics and Asia.
Workshop #3 @ 6/12 13:00-14:00

The landscape is unpredictable and constantly changing, and traditional strategy processes can make use of design principles to address the need for constant adaptation, to understand new opportunities and innovate.
Together, we will demystify the design discipline Strategic Design, and you will learn some tricks to use design more strategically.The workshop starts with a short introduction, before we will do some practical exercises.
