Elisabet Camprubi

About the workshop

Design work often asks us to think harder when what we actually need is to slow down, ground ourselves, and reconnect.

At UX Camp Calgary, Elisabet Camprubi is delivering a hands-on workshop for designers and practitioners seeking a different way to work through complexity.

This session explores how presence and play can reduce overthinking, prevent burnout, and support clearer, more creative collaboration.

Through grounding practices and LEGO Serious Play, we’ll work with the body as a compass. The focus is on psychological safety, emotional regulation, and communication in real design work, especially when things feel uncertain or messy.

Lego kit and dinner will be provided.
