Event Overview
As AI quietly shapes more of our tools and decisions, designers play a key role in making those systems feel clear, human, and trustworthy. Ozair will explore how UX can guide users through complex, AI-enhanced experiences that build trust through communication, predictability, and design.
01
Designing for Trust in the Age of AI
Why trust is a UX outcome, not just a branding exercise. Explore how communication, consistency, and emotional cues build user confidence in AI-powered financial platforms.
02
Guiding, Not Hiding: Invisible UX in AI Workflows
How design systems can subtly lead users through complex, AI-enhanced processes without overwhelming or deceiving; using micro-interactions, progressive disclosure, and clarity-first interfaces.
03
Beyond the Surface: Systems Thinking for Niche Industries
Building design systems that adapt to industry-specific challenges (e.g., compliance, risk, operational tooling). Understand how to balance flexibility, control, and visual integrity at scale.
