Digital Design Days

Design is burning you out. And everyone is pretending not to see it. Burnout, anxiety, depression. 💥 In design, they don't call it that. They call it tight deadlines and last-minute pivots. ☕️ Clive K. Lavery has worked for Adobe, Zalando, Publicis. And went through depression while doing it. In his own words. This talk won't tell you to meditate or go for walks. It will show you the system patterns that burn out the most talented creatives. Human-centered design. Empathy. Systems thinking. When did you last apply any of this to yourself? A team that's doing well performs better and stays longer. Creative wellbeing isn't a perk. It's a retention strategy. Come and learn how to protect your career for the long term. DDD Milano. ⚡ 10th Anniversary Edition. May 7–9 📌 Superstudio Village milano.ddd.live #DDD26

Stop competing on price. Start competing on value. 🔥 For decades, the industry kept prices secret. As if talking about money was somehow beneath us. Ars Thanea published everything online. Real prices. Real timelines. Real processes. What happened next surprised even them. Transparency transformed their positioning. It attracted better clients. It built a healthier culture. If you still treat your pricing like a state secret, this talk is the wake-up call you need. Stop working in the dark. You'll leave DDD knowing what your work is worth. And how to charge for it.

Chaos isn't a mistake. It's the process. 🌀 Every failed attempt. Every change of direction. Every moment of doubt. That's not a detour. That's the creative path itself. AI can generate infinite options. Thousands of images. Endless variations. In seconds. But it has no taste. No intention. No judgment. It doesn't know what's truly beautiful. And it never will. That's your job. The human layer — the sensitivity to choose what actually means something — is what separates good from extraordinary. In the age of AI, that's your greatest competitive advantage. ️ 20% off with code CAMIDDD26 May 7–9 ⚡ 📍 Superstudio Village, Milano milano.ddd.live #DDD26

Have you ever seen a song? 🎵 Violetta Zironi has. And she's built an entire multisensory experience so you can feel music exactly the way she does. Synesthesia — the condition where senses blend together. Where sound becomes color. Melody becomes texture. Where a song isn't just heard. It's lived. But there's more. Neuroscientists believe these experiences may actually rebuild connections in minds fragmented by trauma. Art. Science. Human perception. All on the same stage. This is the kind of performance you won't find anywhere else. Only at Digital Design Days. ️ 20% off with code CAMIDDD26 May 7–9 ⚡ 📍 Superstudio Village, Milano milano.ddd.live #DDD26
