Exhibitions
Another year, another sunny weekend in Kraków! The only design conference you need to attend with our twist to it. This time we built scaffolding, published a newspaper and I was on stage with my talk.
TDM is a cyclical meeting organized in Poznań. All this to meet people, talk and build friendships. An excuse to talk! In addition, of course, we want to exchange knowledge and invite designers (and not only) from all over Poland.
Tech layoffs are now a part of everyday news. AI is making designers question their future. Just thinking about landing your first job is stressful. To make life of Juniors easier we organised another TDA.
Great people, good vibes, and endless discussion around work and beyond. DesignWays is the place to be. We bring our A game as the main partner this year — branding, no-code path, 2 talks, and a lot of #toniklove.
3 talks that won’t drag on forever. 1 debate on whatever’s trending. And all for the design community (and beyond). We had the best time ever! It was great to see all the folks in one place and then took them all to źródło.bar.
That's right. All of us can point out some courses or people who helped us learn design. And we wanted to be the ones. Four mentors and 16 Junior Product Designers solved real design challenges and exchanged practical knowledge.
Tonik Design Academy was a weekend workshop hosted at tonik HQ. We want to give back to the design community and help entry-level designers make their first steps into the industry. No fillers, only practical know-how on the agenda.
