For our May meetup, we’re excited to return to FanDuel, and to welcome not one, but TWO fantastic speakers!
Continuing the AI theme from the last meetup, Ben Zhu (UI/UX Designer, Service Geeni) and Val Miranda (Senior UX Designer, Royal London) will bring complementary perspectives on how UX principles and practices can be applied to AI products, illustrating how UX designers are well positioned to adapt to our AI-enabled future.
Proceedings
6pm: Doors
6.30pm: UX in AI Design & UX Designers as AI Builders (Ben Zhu)
7.15pm: Break
7.30pm: Beyond the linear flow: How AI flips the UX process (Val Miranda)
* 8.30pm: Close
UX in AI Design & UX Designers as AI Builders (Ben Zhu)
In the first part of this talk, we’ll explore why UX plays a key role in AI design, and how principles like clarity, feedback and user-centred thinking can improve AI products.
In the second part, we’ll discuss why UX designers are well placed to become AI builders. Skills like understanding users, mapping flows and shaping journeys are highly valuable in building AI tools and products.
I’ll also share practical examples and real experiences of using AI to build ideas faster and better.

Beyond the linear flow: How AI flips the UX process (Val Miranda)
What happens to the UX process when the core product is built before the journey exists? In a traditional workflow, we identify a user intent, map a journey, and tell a developer exactly what happens at each step. But when you’re designing for Generative AI in a high-stakes, restricted environment like Financial Services, that script gets flipped. You aren’t just d
