Ramona Domen
Software engineerTeam Rockstars IT
I like to see myself as a motivated developer with strong people skills. My journey started by studying Animal sciences. Through my thesis the passion to combine my field of study with technology grew. I’ve now been building software for a few years already and I like to call myself a full-stack developer with a passion for frontend. Most of my inspiration comes from visiting meet-ups and conferences, and I’m taking my first steps of being a speaker myself.

AI Is my ux designer
By Ramona Domen and Koen Aerts (NL)
What happens when all website information is available in public LLM solutions? You’ll get the best UX design ever created in seconds!
Public LLMs such as DALL-E and Midjourney contain the information needed to set up a design system. After this session, you will be able to use these tools yourself and be proficient in prompt engineering to set up your own design system. The results will be displayed in Figma and Zeroheight.
A design system is all about creating the best possible solution for our users. We will explain important concepts such as accessibility, usability, consistency, simplicity, feedback and how to address them with the help of an AI UX designer by completely revamping an existing website.
As a final step, we will use AI to 100% generate a clickable demo of an open source project (https://www.littil.org/home).
After this session, you will know how to use AI to create your own design system, what a good design system looks like, and how to use AI to generate a clickable demo!
