Speaker Introduction: I got to know Vitaly Friedman through a road trip in 2011 I did with a handful of people. We all did not know each other. All together in a van we were on the way to an event called “New Adventures in Web Design” that took place on 20th January 2011 and was organised by my friend Simon Collison. Little did I know how much Vitaly and I would explore together and how many adventures were ahead.

On that journey I told Vitaly about my event, which I was just about to start. He was in for it instantly and gave a talk at the very first beyond tellerrand conference in Düsseldorf, November 2011. His talk back then was titled “The Invisible Side of Design” and he (not me) refers to it as ”[…]my worst talk ever[…]”.

Next to this, we got into conversations about starting an event for the online magazine he had co-founded in 2006 and which we all knew too well, since it was one of THE goto address for web designers: Smashing Magazine. I loved the idea, he loved the way I was running events and the atmosphere at my events and we started the first Smashing Conference in 2012 in Freiburg, the town were Smashing Magazine was based.

Now Vitaly is back with a new talks and full-day workshop. Stay tuned for more information and check our website (link in bio) and if you want to go fully in, then have a look at his workshop titled “Designing For Complex UIs In 2025”.
