I’m a UX Architect at Salesforce, helping build world-class customer experience tools.

For me, experience design is a strategy for creating positive change in the world for others—not in a vague sense, but a literal one.

Transparency, feedback, and accountability are critical components of any equitable system we build in the world. Great design work treats these components as requirements for success and leverages them to better ensure human-centered outcomes.

I put this perspective to work through experience design, thoughtful presentations, and lots of experimentation.

Gauri Thakur

Gauri Thakur

'The world can be an overwhelming place, so I help people connect with experiences and brands by telling stories as a UI/UX and product designer. ‘

Hello, I am Gauri, currently based in Southampton, UK. I love seeing my designs come to life and helping users accomplish their goals. My knowledge of design principles, the software has always proven to be an upside for my projects. I believe in creating designs that are intuitive, accessible, transparent, and user friendly. I also believe in watching the same old movies again. Other than designing I love to talk about philosophy, sketch, cook, and hike. I also mentor young students from Myanmar just trying to figure out how I can help in someone else's journey.

My passion for design has taken the front forth in my life since I was 16. I taught myself through YouTube, numerous internships and just by following other designers. After 5 years, I moved to the UK to learn in a formal way about the world of UX with huge loan and pressure of paying it back, but all that paid off as I completed my masters with a distinction and paid off my student loan.

I bring both a research perspective and a creative problem-solving approach to developing the products that people love to use. I can tackle roadblocks, work in a multi-disciplinary team and combine innovative HCI and research principles. My knowledge of design thinking, 4-5 years of experience working with human centric products, proficiency in design and passion for accessibility, usability, user psychology, mobile specific products will allow me to play a valuable role in the implementation of design initiatives.

Kataun Nouri

Kataun Nouri

**Speaker Biography:**

I see art not merely as a tool for beauty but as a language of the subconscious, a bridge between the mind and the universe, and a path to inner healing. I have spent over 20 years searching for the essence of humanity in a world where cultural and racial boundaries are mere illusions.

My paintings reflect neural patterns,emotions,and inner energies, brought to life through NFTs to engage with the human mind and soul. By merging neuroscience, art, and technology, I create works that are not just visually captivating but also serve as a medium for expression, solace, and healing for cancer patients and children with autism.

I am a medium between the outer and inner worlds where art is not just an image but a window to the soul and a reflection of a truth beyond words. My mission is to bring this therapeutic art to the world through NFTs,allowing every individual, beyond borders, to rediscover themselves in these colors and perhaps become their own healer.

Anthony Dodson

Anthony Dodson: A Story of Resilience and Transformation
Emerging from the crucible of adversity, Anthony Dodson's narrative begins in Aiken, SC, where his grandmother played a pivotal role in guiding him away from the shadows cast by his parents' incarceration. Despite a turbulent youth, Dodson defied the odds, graduating at the remarkably young age of 16. Undeterred by challenges, Dodson's professional journey began with Verizon, where he quickly ascended the corporate ladder. His entrepreneurial spirit found expression in real estate, and his venture into credit repair marked the inception of his business career. The pursuit of a brighter future led him to Houston, TX, where tragedy struck once more, catalyzing his transformation into an advocate for change. Armed with an MBA and a passion for financial literacy, Dodson, in collaboration with his daughter, authored a groundbreaking 12-book series on the subject. His unorthodox approach resonated globally, propelling him into the international spotlight as a speaker, life coach, and change agent—all before the age of 30. Anthony Dodson transcends the conventional success narrative. He embodies resilience and offers inspiration to those striving to rise above challenges. Join him on a journey where adversity converges with triumph, and setbacks become stepping stones to greatness.
