Thank You, Calgary!

WOW — what an incredible two days! UX Camp Calgary 2025 is officially a wrap, and as organizers, we’re filled with gratitude, joy, and pride after hosting our very first UX Camp here in Calgary.

To our amazing community: thank you for showing up, selling us out, and bringing your full energy to the event.

From the deep-dive workshops on March 21st to the inspiring talks, engaging panels, and vibrant networking on March 22nd, your presence made this experience unforgettable.

We want to offer our sincerest thanks to the people who made UX Camp possible:

✨ To our volunteers – your dedication, kindness, and behind-the-scenes magic kept everything running seamlessly.
🎤 To our speakers – thank you for sharing your knowledge, perspectives, and vision for the future of UX.
🛠️ To our workshop facilitators – your sessions were packed with insight and practical takeaways.
🤝 To our sponsors and community partners – thank you for believing in this vision and helping bring it to life.

This was just the beginning. Our goal was to create a space for Alberta’s UX professionals, designers, developers, and innovators to connect, grow, and be inspired — and we’re so proud of what we built together.

We’re already looking forward to Edmonton's UX Camp in May 17, and next year's edition! Let’s keep growing this incredible community, one UX Camp at a time.

With love and gratitude,

The Design System Playbook: Strategy, Governance & Influence

Saturday, March 22 2025 / UI/Craft

In the fast-paced world of UX, maintaining consistency and efficiency across products isn’t just a challenge—it’s a governance problem. A well-structured design system can bridge the gap between design and development, accelerate workflows, and drive cohesive user experiences. But how do you ensure its success? In this talk, I’ll share my experience as the Senior User Experience Architect for the City of Calgary, where I built and now govern our Design System. From balancing stakeholder demands to setting UX standards and managing agile component prioritization, I’ll reveal the strategic playbook for making design systems scalable, adaptable, and impactful.
