Putting users on the map

​About the event

​Test and shape the prototype of a user-centric board game!

​In this hands-on workshop with Inka Howorth, you’ll step into the shoes of a city user and help redraw the map of Brighton’s creative sector. You’ll pick what your persona needs from a shared pool of possibilities, then negotiate with other players to build a city that has room for everyone.

​Expect some compromise, a few priorities to defend, and the occasional perfectly timed veto. You don’t need any drawing skills, just a willingness to play and experiment.

​For our newsletter guest post this month, Inka has told us about her inspiration for the board game. Read on for the story behind the workshop!

​About Inka

​Inka is the Head of Product at Honeydew Health Ltd. She leads a small cross-functional team of software developers and designers.

​Over the past 14 years, Inka has had the opportunity to design and build 2 online platforms at Honeydew. She is currently overseeing the re-design of both applications giving her an opportunity to implement major usability improvements and develop expertise in managing legacy code.

​Due to the small size of Honeydew as a company, Inka has had the opportunity to see the lifecycle of product development from all sides. She has designed and tested features, as well as onboarding users and supporting them with ongoing queries. More recently she implemented a user research practice to invite users more regularly to participate in test sessions.

​Inka has been an active member of LTUX since 2023. She was part of the organising team of Talk UX in 2025 and until recently acted as a Non-Executive Director of LTUX Brighton.
