Workshop
Designing Dashboards UX workshop
Organised by The School of UX
What's on
You'll design your own dashboard from scratch + leave with tons of insights on how to make UI of your order management systems, admin panels (and other usual suspects 🥱) relevant, flexible and fast — from visualising information using data grids and creating customisable fluid layout, to designing notifications system and gamification bits & bobs.
Having designed numerous dashboards over the past 15 years — from fintech and energy companies to healthcare and education — our senior designer will share the joy (and pain 😬) working on these, with plenty of examples and hands-on exercises.
