THE TRAINING PROGRAM THAT EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES.
Master Conversational UX
Let's put humanity back into our software.
It's time to build (earned/paid) interactive content that packs a punch, and guides individuals and communities to their goals.
HOW HUMANIZING YOUR SOFTWARE MAKES YOU WEB3 READY.
In today's competitive environment, time is precious for software development. While leveraging best practices and pursuing customer satisfaction, it's crucial to be mindful of the risks associated with building exclusively within big tech's walled gardens.
Despite claims of supporting free speech, censorship and control prevail. Many companies find themselves locked between centralized payment processors and Web3, and with the emergence of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), a third centralized financial system seems to appear on the horizon.
We developed a new Conversational Experience Design program that results novel and flexible Interfaces that can cross financial layers. It does not only makes our software Natural, Social, Conversational (Chat like), Relational, and Pleasant.
It allows us to diversify financial layers, and take back ownership of our interfaces and data.

STEP1
SHIFT YOUR MINDSET FROM PAGES TO DIGITAL CONVERSATIONS.
Our UX reviews revealed that 90% of software consists of page-based features, that result in repetitive tasks.
Shifting from Human centered to Assistant centric design is the best design choice you can make to infuse hospitality into your software, and guide people to their goals.
STEP2
MASTER ONBOARDING FOR YOUR ACTORS IN EXPERIENCE MAPS
Instead of solely optimising the functional aspects of your software, use experience and engagement perspective as well. Extracing the experience map and bringing problem-sensing into your software, is step 2 of humanizing your software design.
STEP3
MAKE YOUR DOMAIN SPECIFIC CONTENT INTERACTIVE.
Let's break free from the narrow focus on technology and design experiences that serves business, individual and community well-being.
Prepare by designing new (earned/paid) interactive content that is financial rails independent.
STEP4
CREATE, USE AND TUNE YOUR CONVERSATIONAL NETWORK
Take back your brand ownership. Transform your conversational network into hospitable meeting place and move beyond static and linear experience design.
Build interactive content that unlocks new education and revenue potential for your organisation.

LEARNING BY DESIGNING CONVERSATIONS
Digital Governance
Co-creation Events by SDA.
▮ ETHICAL DESIGN FOR DIGITAL NETWORKS
We never learned to bring our values and principles into our digital network. Understanding your hierarchy of needs, helps you make better decisions, for your personal live and where you want to use your energy. The time to change our design attitude and learn to design with principles is now.
▮ MASTER DIGITAL GOVERNANCE TOGETHER
Our software development methods and content formats have become outdated. To revitalize your content strategy, adopt an Assistant-Centered Design approach, which moves away from colonial design thinking and embraces collaboration. This mindset shift helps break down silos and fosters a more inclusive and participatory design process for digital governance solutions.
▮ CO-CREATION AS GOVERNANCE
Revisit the origins of the internet and its evolution over the past 25 years. Despite advancements, the centralization of technology solutions in big tech has hindered progress.
Rethink traditional design methods and content formats, such as page-based design and reliance on video. Consider the relationship between real-life organization and digital design.
Join the Design Challenge movement and embrace co-creation as a form of governance to unlearn old methods and collectively learn and progress.
REQUEST AN INTAKE
It’s time that we design interactive content with principles and co-create distributed content management systems, because our centralized systems are failing.
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Unlearn / Relearn

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Rebuild as Assistant
“Designing for Human Activities and Routines really helps in simplifying our software, and deliver true value. Designing our own ecosystem and being able to design digital conversations really helped us to scale our story. Being able to involve people is amazing.”
Next Gen Digital Governance using privacy by design
“Privacy by design is as simple of an insight, as it’s practical to use. Being able to able to keep the data in the users pocket while have an open communication channel with our audiences is truly a revolutionary find in digital product design.”
We didn’t realize how harsh our software was.
“Now we use Conversational Interaction Design we see how harsh and impolite our software actually was. Being able to design for time, location and context is real eyeopener. Situational aware Assistants are an exciting new field.”
