Moderator | Black Tech Saturday

At the Digital Empowerment Summit hosted by Black Tech Saturdays, I served as moderator for “Human by Design: Bridging Architecture, UX, and Technology.” I guided a cross-disciplinary discussion that connected the rigor of architectural thinking with modern product design practices and responsible tech. The session unpacked how principles like hierarchy, wayfinding, materiality, and flow translate into UX patterns, service blueprints, and inclusive design methods that scale.

Focus areas
Using architectural concepts to shape intuitive information architecture and navigation
Building ethical, accessible products that center community and cultural context
Translating research into clear product requirements and measurable outcomes
Aligning founders, designers, and engineers around a shared human-centered vision

Outcomes for attendees
Practical frameworks for mapping spatial logic to digital journeys
Checklists for accessibility, usability testing, and bias reduction
Tools for bringing stakeholder alignment into sprint planning and roadmaps

My role
Set the session arc, crafted guiding questions, and facilitated live Q&A
Connected audience challenges to concrete tactics and resources
Synthesized insights into next steps participants could apply immediately
This conversation affirmed a core belief in my practice: when we design like architects of experience, technology becomes more navigable, more equitable, and more human.
