So what is Configura really like? Who better to ask than our CEO? Join us as we get to know Stefan Persson (however you wish to pronounce "Stefan") and talk about our values, what makes Configura a great place to work, and where we shine as a team. And about that question: Will Design Thinking make you better at Tetris? Spoiler: maybe. But good luck beating Stefan, former Nintendo gamer and record breaker. What you can do is apply Design Thinking at every level of the company, including the C-suite. And stick around until the end for a quick Nerd Alert segment featuring none other than our founder, Johan Lyreborn, explaining what PGC means.

007 | Double Feature (Feature Requests Explained, ft. Joanna Joblanski)

What happens when passionate users and curious developers walk into a (virtual) room? Adam and Audrey find out with Joanna Jablonski, Design Manager at Henricksen, CET superstar, and all-around design whisperer. From art school in Poland to accidentally sitting in a space she designed years earlier, Joanna shares how creativity, collaboration, and a dash of serendipity shape her world. The trio trades thoughts on smarter workflows, UX “diseases,” and the eternal popcorn-versus-chips debate, all in pursuit of one simple goal: making designers’ lives easier.
