Kathmandu, September 2
Leapfrog Technology Inc. concluded the fourth edition of its flagship design event, Design Disco on Saturday at the Supper Club in Thamel, Kathmandu. The event hosted over 150 attendees and featured Abhash Bikram Thapa, Director of Design at Leapfrog Technology Inc., Jayasri Nagrale, Senior Product Designer at Microsoft, Deepshikha Yadav, Founder of World We Desire, and Bidhan Rajbhandari, Governor at Ad Club of Nepal, as speakers.
Each year, Design Disco brings together creative minds in design, development, and design thinking space through thematic speaker remarks, engaging presentations, and meaningful networking opportunities.
Powered by AWS, this year’s theme, “The Digital Me,” explored how personalization, context-aware experiences, spatial design, and invisible interfaces are reshaping our interaction with technology. The conversation went beyond automation, focusing on creating the Agentic Experience, where AI evolves from being just a tool to becoming a true extension of oneself, and empowering designers to take on ambitious, stretch projects without coding expertise, fueled simply by curiosity and a foundational understanding of AI.
“Design is no longer just about what we see on the screen; it has transcended to incorporate experiential elements of engagement, especially with AI in the mix,” said Abhash Bikram Thapa, the keynote speaker and the organizing team lead. “We are thrilled with this year’s attendance, which surpassed the engagement of the previous three editions. I’m confident that the event successfully combined innovation, curiosity, and collaboration and shone light on the next frontier of human-centered digital design.”
“Everything was so thoughtfully designed within this conference. I especially loved the venue—it was such a unique thought that gave us good vibes right from the start,” added Deepshikha Yadav, one of the speakers. “The four topics of the presentation just complemented each other. The theme, ‘The Digital Me’ covered the different dimensions, from accessibility to marketing. Loved the vibe, loved the audience, and the duration.”
