2025-11-18 From Ploughs to Pixels: Designing for the Off-Road World

Hosted by CapCHI and Anna

Join us one more time this year for an exciting glimpse into designing for the off-road world with Cristina Ilenescu.

What happens when you bring design thinking into a world of engines, mud and mechanical precision?

This talk looks back at the experience of introducing a user-centered approach to the design of off-road vehicle interfaces. It explores how a human perspective was brought into a highly technical environment and how collaboration helped make complex tools easier and safer to use. It is a story of UX with mud on its boots that illustrates how design thinking can adapt and bring value to places that were unaware of its existence.
