Join us online on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, from 6-8 pm, for an evening of two brilliant talks by Oladapo Awoyinka and Eliza Lawson-Abott, and an opportunity to meet fellow UCD enthusiasts.
Talk 1: Human–AI Collaboration as a Catalyst for Qualitative Thematic Analysis (VR Case Study)
This session demonstrates how AI-assisted qualitative analysis can strengthen UX research through a VR case study in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction sector. Using a systematic six-step thematic analysis process with AI, it shows how Human–AI collaboration can enhance rigour, accelerate pattern recognition, and deepen insights while maintaining human judgment at the centre of the research process.
Oladapo Awoyinka is a UX Designer with experience across fintech, EdTech, and charity sectors, and holds a Master’s in User Experience and Interaction Design from Glasgow Caledonian University.
Talk 2: Engaging with UCD skeptics – throughts from Product Perspective
In the second talk, Eliza Lawson-Abott will bring experience and observations of working on both sides of the fence. She’ll use her radical candour to share some pain points and practical recommendations for designing usable products and services.
Eliza is a Digital Product Owner within DWP (Dept for Work and Pensions) and has a background in UCD/Research Operations.
Eliza is a former singer/vocal specialist and has a diverse background in problem solving, people management, process improvement and facilitation.
