A UX Brunch Chat from 10:30. Speakers include a product designer who has worked in Norway and Taiwan, the founder of Irori Design, and a vTaiwan coordinator, on how design moves past the screen into data, civic participation and social issues.

We will also share the first results of How UX Workers Feel (APAC Edition). Your answers feed into the December workshop.
