Should Your Phone Help You Live, or Just Consume Your Time?

Will Simon of Artwrld asks what role digital products should play in supporting the lives we actually want to live. His talk, Bridging Worlds, explores how thoughtful design moves beyond screen time to deepen our connection with the real world. Drawing on work with Headspace, AllTrails, and Artwrld, he shares stories and design lessons on cultivating presence, discovering the outdoors, and finding community, all while keeping the phone out of the moment.
