Aral Balkan (aral@mastodon.ar.al)'s status on Thursday, 21-Aug-2025 23:19:52 JST Aral Balkan

I’m speaking at Defuse – Design For Use – at The Sugar Club in Dublin on November 10th at 7PM.
The theme is “Reclaiming Design: Taking Back Purpose in an Automated Age” and my talk’s titled “Think small”.
It’s first come, first served, so mark your calendars and show up early (and find me and say hi if you do!) :)
