This is the archive page for RE:DESIGN/UXD 2014 which took place April 28 + 29 in Brooklyn, NY.
The theme was BETTER. How do we make products, processes, companies, and our experiences better? Our small-scale discussions will take on the challenge to make things better, while considering what better actually means -- is it cultural, contextual, absolute or something else entirely.
