Tashfeen will speak at Designing Futures in London
Tashfeen joins a design panel on 5 November. The London event raises funds for education through Children of the Mekong.
Our founder Tashfeen Ahmed will speak at Designing Futures: What We Give Forward in London on Thursday, 5 November.
The event brings the user experience (UX) community together for a discussion about the future of design. It also raises funds for education.
The theme asks what design can pass to future generations. It considers changes in technology, the climate, and social expectations.

- Michael Kibedi, Design Researcher & Writer at First and Fifteenth.
- Tashfeen Ahmed, our founder and Senior Product Designer at Microsoft.

The evening includes panel questions, a piano recital, and time to meet other participants over food and drinks. Everyone is welcome, including people new to design.

All proceeds go to Children of the Mekong. The event particularly supports higher education scholarships for students in Vietnam.
