Aral Balkan: Superheroes & Villains in Design
Can design be so amazing that it makes us feel superheroic? Can it be so poor that it angers and frustrates us? Can design actually be evil? YES says Aral Balkan emphatically in this insightful, inspiring and often hysterically funny talk.
Aral Balkan is an experience designer working to change the world through better design. Aral would go so far as to say that he wants to create and experience designs that make us feel like superheroes when we interact with them! He is a hugely popular speaker and recently won Microsoft Ubelly’s Voice of the Year as well as recognition from .Net Magazine for giving one of the top talks of 2012.
