Last year, a talented group of designers gathered together and shared their unique design experiences during the 2025 #FigmaSlidesParty. Richard started us off on a good note as he talked about how we’re currently in a golden age of design. We’ve had a couple of spicy talks: from Birdie Salva’s erotic boardgame design: Happy Endings, to Trick’s experiences in relating UX to his dating life, and Katsy’s hotter alternatives to her 5 specific UX icks. We’ve also had speakers discuss their niche interests: Juelle in UI for videogames, Chi and design accessibility, Sean’s experiences in UI/UX and 3D printing, and Jelvin’s presentation on web typography. Finally, Jules sent us off with a fun session and reflection on our role as UX designers in a world where very little people understand exactly what it is that we do 😂 We’re doing it again this year! Slots for spectators are already filled, but you can still sign up as a presenter! Few slots left 👀 📅 When: Friday, March 27, 2026, 6PM–9PM 📍 Where: Mashup Garage, 5th Floor, Eastwood City, Techno Plaza One, Orchard Rd, Quezon City, 1110 Metro Manila 🎟️ RSVP thru the link in our bio! *This event is FREE for both presenters and spectators. All presenters will be screened by the organizers and may be invited by FoFPH, PWDO, or UXPH as potential speakers in their communities’ respective meetups.

New innovations in Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are set to radically change the way we think and work with technology, products, and interfaces. Currently, much debate is being done around how AI technologies can potentially drive down the cost of building products. For a country where organizations from the West historically come to outsource design & engineering at a lower cost, we ask: What does this mean for Filipino web designers, engineers, and technologists? The Philippine Web Designers Organization is BACK after a three-year hiatus! 🤩🥳 Join us this April 1, 2023 from 4PM to 5PM PHT LIVE on our Facebook page as we have an intimate panel discussion about AI in the Philippine Design Industry. Panelists: Mika Aldaba - Senior Consultant and Data Science ESG Lead @ EY Toni-Jan Keith Monserrat - CTO @ Senti AI and Google Developer Expert for Web Technologies Niaw de Leon - Principal Consultant @ Cognible Note: GPT-4 was used to iterate on the title of this meetup.
