Before we start,
I want to know who's in the room.

Two sessions on design. I'd rather build them around the people actually attending than teach the same thing I'd teach anywhere.

ስለ ዲዛይን ሁለት ክፍለ ጊዜዎች። በሁሉም ቦታ የሚሰጠውን ተመሳሳይ ትምህርት ከመስጠት ይልቅ፣ በእናንተ ላይ ተመሥርቶ እንዲዘጋጅ እፈልጋለሁ።

5 minutes 20 questions, most are one tap No wrong answers Only I see it

A few of these ask what you think, not what you know. Answer honestly — if you've never opened a design app in your life, that's genuinely useful for me to know.

— Shalom Eshetu, brand identity designer

Even one sentence helps. Please write something.
