Karen Reilly
I'm a UX leader who has walked a path of two halves: a researcher and designer, and a team builder and leader. For the past decade, my passion has been to support fellow UX practitioners—helping them grow their skills and do their most impactful work.
This journey has taken me from startups to large enterprises like Workday and now, to Maersk. As a former agency co-owner, I've hired and led design teams across many industries, all while rooting my work in understanding people.

Improvise to Empathise: Human Superpower in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence reshapes the design landscape, our innate human ability to empathise is more critical than ever. Empathy isn't just a buzzword; it's the most powerful tool in a designer's toolkit—it's what allows us to truly understand the people we're designing for.
This workshop goes beyond theory. Using proven improvisation techniques and games, we'll practice listening more deeply and seeing the world through another's eyes. You'll learn to embody a person's experience, not just think about it. Join me for a safe, playful, and fun session that will remind you of your unique humanness and why it's your ultimate superpower.
