UXHI Conference 2026: Moʻolelo and Meaning
In Hawaiʻi, moʻolelo is a treasured practice. It preserves the culture of a special place and people, by shaping, carrying, and contextualizing what is shared. It is highly intentional.
These ideas resonate deeply with design. Design shapes understanding. Every interaction reflects intentional choices, whether it’s interactions created for our various audiences, insights distilled from research, or the communication of value to stakeholders and leaders. As a designer, you guide how people relate to systems, experiences, and even each other.
This year’s conference is a nod to stories and their carriers, both of which help us make sense of the world around us. Join us for another year of knowledge sharing, building pilina within Hawaiʻi’s design community, and learning from one another’s moʻolelo.
